There are, in this fallen world, many mutually contradictory terms, things like “jumbo shrimp,” “trans women,” “pregnant men” and above all, “progressive Christianity.” That’s not to suggest that political progressives can’t have at least a semblance of Christian faith, only that their secular, political faith inevitably tends to overrule Christianity, which is why many of our mainline denominations are split asunder. One side insists that God, and His Word, are eternal, everlasting, unchanging. The other side doesn’t. After all, if the Constitution is a “living” document, changeable—or ignored—at the whim of Democrats, why not God?
That’s a question little asked in Texas, among America’s reddest states, where one James Talarico, a former middle school English teacher and Democrat state representative is the Texas Democrat Party’s nominee for the US Senate. He’ll run against either current US Senator John Cornyn whose RICO moves have Texans wary of reelecting him or current Texas AG Ken Paxton. Talarico is in the race because he’s currently a seminary student and Democrats apparently think his “progressive Christianity” might attract the Christian Texas vote.
Talarico is affiliated with the PCUSA, a “liberal Presbyterian denomination,” the “liberal” part being something of an understatement. Suffice it to say for such people, Democrat social policy takes precedence over God’s word, historical fact and common sense, like this:
Talarico himself anticipates he might have a tough time with Christians who annoyingly insist on taking God at His Word about His Word:
I’ll note only that most Christians would likely take exception to Talarico’s opinion on the Ten Commandments and their supposed lack of “historical basis in American history.” They’re certainly taking exception to his assertions about the “non-binary God” and multiple genders. Though he may have some Biblical backup in Genesis 1:27:

Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?
A. Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.
AMEN!
It has been said there are some Christians who get into “Love” too much but there are also Christians who deviate into “Justice” too much.
Jesus spoke of Sadducees the “Love” faction disagreeing with them.
But he also spoke even more harshly to the Pharisees the “Justice” faction for being deep hypocrites.
I see the Liberals as wrong but know the depth of Conservative hypocrisy is wrong as well.
The Evangelist needed today is one who slams the Conservatives hard so they can reprove the Liberals from a position of true repentance.
Conservatives who can initiate the witness to Liberals saying “I am a hypocrite” heck just like the Apostle Paul.
Dispensationalism is ‘progressive’ and recent. Just saying.
Degenerate Devilry is more accurate.
Big time.

You’ve been successfully rebutted over this lie sooooo many times,,, but the issue is never the issue with you apparently.
So , once again , I present 2 more rebuttal vids..

I expect your rebuttal to these vids way before you can even watch even one of them.
Cuz you’re a preterist replacement theology fanatic.
.
yep...he's a despicable POS that stole Rush's name in an attempt to have credibility...and continues to abuse FR rules by posting his clickbait spam with his website link.
He's is a low-IQ pervert who, at best, lacks common sense to recognize his evil.
I’d be walkin’ out of that church.
Classical premillennialism is neither preterist, nor dispensational.
Amillennialism & Postmillennialism don’t automatically preclude preterism either. Sometimes partial preterism, or no preterism at all.
