“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭26‬-‭29‬

That's the verse he's claiming is "woke." Which obviously does not say what he's implying it says in the least.

Aren’t Texas voters Bible thumpers? I’d be worried he could lure some of our squish voters to his side. Looks like a choir boy. What do we do give money to Crockett? Primary is in 6 weeks. There will be a debate Saturday at 2pm. Don’t know if it’s eastern standard time. Worth watching wouldn’t you say?

Paul also said he does not permit a woman to speak in a church. Which means we have to apply Biblical Hermeneutics to understand the deeper meaning of the text or we have a clear contradiction.

Woke is marxism applied to race instead of class. So no...Paul wasn’t “woke”. He didn’t say Non-Whites are superior to Whites.

“Paul refers to Jesus as a man in several passages, notably in 1 Timothy 2:5, where he states, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.””

Contradictions in biblical interpretation?

No way!

He is playing with fire. And not the earthly kind either.

Talarico: “Paul says that in Christ there is neither male nor female which is pretty woke for the first century.”


Pro 26:4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.
Pro 26:5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation.

which applies in this situation?

The first chapter of his letter to the Romans is the antithesis of woke.

This guy is a snake. If you haven’t studied scripture he sounds reasonable. But he is the exact false teacher Jude warned us about. Notice, he never tries to argue or debate someone who knows his (or her) Bible. I can name at least a dozen freepers who could bury this guy in a debate.

Has he read the Letters of St. Paul?

He would know the first thing, which is that St. Paul was not an Apostle

You don’t respond to foolish arguments on their terms.

This same pastor (who responds to Talarico in the video) also addresses Talarico again addressing the concept you raise:

‘I Whatever this imbecile is smoking/snorting, he ought to bottle and sell it.

I’d contribute some cash to see that.

Original Jesus vs American Jesus, the sequel, would be fun to watch.

Talarico is a fag. How would he know.
