When scripture becomes a tool for advancing contemporary progressive politics, Christianity begins to resemble secular humanism dressed up in religious language.
Archbishop Fulton Sheen contrasted communism from western liberalism by saying communism was all cross without any Christ, society sacrificing itself to attain perfection. By contrast Western Christianity had become a “Christ” without a Cross. No Cross means no sin to atone for. This Crossless Christianity is also bereft of The Father and Son (Gaya-forbid there be naked hierarchy!) No Heaven above and no hell below but only the common social project of building the Tower of Folly.
It has been preached, drawn from scripture, that Satan is the father of lies and that he has his demonic angels to promote the lies. Talarico seems to be one of Satan's more senior demon angels from the video I've seen him in.
Excellent. I have been fighting this battle for years. This gives me much more ammunition to use. Almost all mainstream church denominations have slipped out of actual Christianity. The Bible, to them, is one among many guides.
Most of my fellow church goers have never read the Bible all the way through. Many tell me they are pretty sure they have read all of it, because they have jumped around here and there based on someone's "read the Bible in a year" formula, but that is seldom the entirety, and it always takes things completely out of context.
People should at least read each book of the New Testament in it's entirety, not jump around within the book. Since the vast majority of the New Testament is letters written to churches or individuals, the books of the Bible should be read like you would read a letter from a loved one or a friend. You wouldn't go from the first paragraph to the seventeenth, then the twelfth, etc. You would completely lose the context.
Christianity has no need to "progress" when it is based on the actual gospel of Jesus Christ. I do my level best to love all of my brothers and sisters, whether in the church or not. That love does not, and indeed cannot, include any agreement to participate in anyone's delusions.

Don't be too hard on Talarico, he's just another babbling psychotic but with a weird name. I have more sympathy for the fools who support him--if there are any. Talarico himself is so unhinged he can't even be dangerous. In fact, if you read what he actually says, he's kind of funny. Six genders! Count 'em! Six! Coming soon to your neighborhood! (giggle. snark.)
Talarico, and others who subscribe to transgender ideology, say that there are six sexes, not just male and female. As they always do, they do not differentiate between biological sex and social notions of gender -- prescriptive sex stereotypes about how males "should be" and females "should be".
Talarico thinks that because some people have more or less than 46 chromosomes, that means some people are neither male nor female. That is simply not true. The total number of chromosomes someone has is not what determines their reproductive sex.
Normally, humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes. Aneuploidy (AN-yoo-PLOY-dee) is the occurrence of one or more extra or missing chromosomes in a cell or organism. Normally. a human has either two X 23rd chromosomes (females) or one X and one Y 23rd chromosomes 9 (males), but sometimes a human has only one 23rd chromosomes which is always an X, or more X or Y 23rd chromosomes. Such individuals are still either female or male.

“Salvation becomes collective political improvement rather than reconciliation with God.”
It really is political, isnt it?!
I have, in past years, titled their religion Chrissianity—a crossless religion of false (self) “love”—
And I agree, humanism (seeking “good without God”) is its foundation. But it’s worse as it doesn’t only ditch truth, it twists it.
Moral imperatives cannot be couched in therapeutic jargon. Right and wrong, good and evil - are absolutes, not suggestions.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams
And I feel certain that Adams would look at Mr. Talarico just as you did, as he is wearing the skin of Christianity to deceive us all.
All you had to do was not comment. You would have only been suspected a fool....

Entire thread is a botboi circle jerk.
Why you so scared? STFU botbitch
Here are four minutes of James Talerico's version of "Christianity" in his own words. See if you can make it to the end. https://x.com/DeaceProducer/status/2029973778684342314?s=20
A much-needed lecture for cafeteria Catholics and prosperity-gospel Protestants!
