This Democrat Senate Candidate Says the Bible Is Pro-Choice (James Talarico D-TX)

He also believes the Bible is "pro-choice" because the Angel Gabriel "asked" Mary if she wanted to be the mother of Jesus.

That's not accurate, at all, and borders on heresy.

Here's what the Bible says about that encounter with Mary, from the Book of Luke, 1:28-35, 38 (emphasis added):

The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[b] the Son of God.

...

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

There was no asking for permission. There was no consent. The Angel tells Mary she will conceive and give birth to a Son.

Mary's response is not consent, it's obedience to the Lord.

It's also a false comparison because the made up "choice" even he came up with would have been prior to conception, not afterward and killing the baby.

If one supports the murder of the unborn justifying it in whatever twisted way comes with it.

This is the kind of twisting of God’s word one would expect from the father of lies.

Exodus 21:22-25

22 If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
24 Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

If he’s this loose and fast with the Holy Bible, imagine how he’ll be with the Constitution.

What happens when someone says “I’m your daddy and the choice for you is mine”?

I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. I've learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism.

Oh boy. One of those.

God knew the not-yet-born before they were even formed, yet this charlatan deems that His will not be done.

Jeremiah 1:5
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. Mary had her choice.

He also says life begins at first breath because Adam didn’t become alive until God breathed his divine spirit into him.

This is the great challenge to Christianity, today our government leaders, our Priests and Preachers are practicing a new form of paganism a new religion wearing the robes of Christianity and carrying the bible, a Sodom and Gomorrah religion with males and females leading in the pulpits and preaching Sodom and Gomorrah as biblical faith.

This is going to be tough to deal with as each generation learns a new faith that they think is the Christian religion.
