'A modern-day Pharisee': Buttigieg's evangelical brother-in-law urges him to 'repent' of abortion views
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 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 feel a sense of responsibility and stewardship of my faith to stand up and say something, to say, 'No, that's not true,'" Glezman explained. "God places a very high value on all human life. Everyone is created fearfully and wonderfully in the image of God with intrinsic value. That doesn't start at the first breath, it starts when we enter our mother's womb."
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."

How do they Newspeak the Bible & Torah to G-d blessing homosexuality?
Read it, will have to read it again.
I'm serious. They say a key term means exclusively "male temple prostitute of Baal-Peor" or something equally culturally extinct, so that --- unless Baal-Peor is literally referenced while doing the dirty deed--- no worries, it's all good.

They say homosexual was mistranslated and really means pedophile.
He needs to repent of more than the abortion issue.
Although it would be a good start.
Mayor Pete should immediately draw up a DNR form so that if he just happens to stop breathing, for any reason, he is declared DEAD and no effort would be used to resuscitate him.
Yeah until they go all-out pro-pedophile -—coming soon, reference “Drag Queen Story Time” ——at which time they will further refine their terms and claim the Biblical language actually condemns homophobes.
There is no reasonable way that ‘mishkav zachar’ can be twisted to mean pedophilia. It’s possible that Greeks and Latins who translated that Hebrew into their languages didn’t like it’s real meaning.
But it doesn’t explain why pederasty was considered acceptable while homosexuality by two adults was not. Still pretty much that way in Islam.
I don’t know Greek or Hebrew but I do know that when I was on Diocesan Council in San Francisco and the gay Episcopal priest’s wanted to add a marriage ceremony to the Book of Common Prayer for their use, the argument year after year is that God never condemned homosexuality, only pedophilia.
I left the Episcopal church but I know they’ve managed to ruin that church by convincing it to condone their active sin.
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.”
I got the impression that Buttplug’s wifes bro and the Buttplugs do not see each other very often.
