Modern-day Pharisee: Buttigieg's evangelical brother-in-law urges him to 'repent' of abortion views
examiner ^ | 9/6/19 | Jon Brown

The evangelical brother-in-law of Pete Buttigieg called on him to "repent" for using the Bible to justify late-term abortion and claimed the presidential candidate is "weaponizing" Christian teachings to promote a false religion.

Pastor Rhyan Glezman, 34, who serves a church in small-town Michigan, told the Washington Examiner that he was very alarmed by Buttigieg's claim that the Bible teaches life does not begin until a baby first draws breath.

During a wide-ranging Friday interview on the radio show The Breakfast Club, Buttigieg, 37, scolded Republicans for their views on abortion, saying, "Right now, they hold everybody in line with this one piece of doctrine about abortion, which is obviously a tough issue for a lot of people to think through morally. Then again, there's a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath. So even that is something we can interpret differently."

I welcome any attempt by FredocRATS to introduce Biblical precepts into the discussion.

Buttboy’s BIL is not truly a brother in law at all (en sensu strictissimo) if he is a brother to Pete’s ‘husband’.

Maybe he should preach to them both about the abomination of sodomy, instead...

Someone needs to tell Butt Gigger many things, but his soul is so dead that he will not hear. God has given him over. A fool like this ‘man’ could care less that an unborn baby at 22 weeks in life can learn. Yes, it is a proven fact. But the sodomite doesn’t care. He serves his father, the father of lies, a murderer from the start. ... And folks, this sort of antichrist apostasy is going to get much worse.

And contrary to the misleading the title, it was Buttigieg who is being called a modern-day Pharisee, not Glezman:

“What we see is a modern-day Pharisee,” said Glezman, referencing the 1st-century Jewish sect that was notorious for demanding its followers adhere to an exhaustive list of trivial laws to earn God’s favor. “Buttigieg is a person who’s making up their own rules and regulations and, basically, if we don’t celebrate and endorse their interpretation of Scripture, our religion is fallible. And that’s just not true.”

Glezman asserted that Buttigieg’s use of Scripture to defend abortion up to the point of birth was “outrageous,” adding, “If we’re going to say we’re for all people and we love all people, but we don’t value human life in the womb, that’s being a hypocrite. You’re hypocritical if you don’t stand up for all life. So that’s why I’m speaking out.”

Is that all he’s being asked to repent for?

He’s already been forgiven of all his sins, past, present and future, and works don’t matter, so he can do whatever he wants!

There are other things the Bible also teaches that Buttigeig doesn’t seem to understand.

Episcopalians don’t believe in sin. They also believe that once you’ve been water baptized, you automatically go to heaven without any need for repentance or change in your life.

Needs to repent of his buggery, too.

I once heard someone in a public forum ask Ken Kesey (of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”) (of all people) when did he think “life” begins, and he answered “When did the Lord become incarnate?” Blew me away.

And then he went on, “But from a secular point of view, these ‘choice’ people, they claim they don’t know when life begins, but they sure know how to end it. If that being in your womb wasn’t alive, you wouldn’t be looking it kill it.”

Everybody, even a little child, would know that. As Benjamin Franklin said, “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

Yo, Bootybomber, even Satan knows Scripture. He just twists it to advance his own agenda.
