James Talarico Says Black Churches Understand Jesus Better than White Churches

[bdtex]

Their own rules, their own morality, their own standards, all revolving around one profoundly unwell diety.

And they think they are the deciders of who gets into heaven. It's faith and works, not words, that decide that.

Faith alone, not works. That's what got Martin Luther in trouble with the Catholic church. Only faith alone in Jesus can save you.

"Faith without works..."

The Bible is clear about obeying the laws of the land. You're ignorant and likely demon possesed.

Yes it is and Donald Trump has broken multiple laws of the land, regarding his treatment of immigrants and refugees. The "law of the land" says that people have a right to claim refugee status. That people the state detains have a right to humane treatment, decent living conditions, and adequate food and medical care.

That is WHY the courts are overturning his EO's, and issuing Order to stop locking up law abiding immigrants without cause or warrants.

You're projecting. I'm neither ignorant nor a demon but thanks for proving your own ignorance.

That's not what Jesus said. Faith without works is dead. The parable of the Good Samaritan basically says the same thing. James 2: 14-17

"14. What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15. If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16. and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17. Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

Works are a result of faith. Faith without Works is dead. If you have real faith, good Works are the result. The faith that results in salvation isn't the result of Works.

I look at MAGA Christianity™ as a separate, distorted sect from the real thing.

Their own rules, their own morality, their own standards, all revolving around one profoundly unwell diety.

Presumably they got tired of waiting for Jesus to return.

MAGA Christianity is built on hate
Hatred of immigrants
Hatred of gays
Hatred of the poor

It is what Jesus would have wanted

The Supreme Court decided yesterday that the President is right.

That's not referring to salvation. Was the thief on the cross saved?

Why do you get to decide what they should or shouldn’t do or whether that worship is pleasing to God? If you think dancing or singing in Church is why Christ came you’ve lost the plot. Why would a modern song be any more or less pleasing to God? Why would someone dancing around vs solemnly singing be more or less pleasing to Him. What yoh are doing is projecting what you want onto God. It’s very clear (to me anyway) that you have a misunderstanding of the new covenant Christ established. Don’t worry you’re in good company the Catholics missed it as well

It is all about the vibe

Are you there to listen in silence or their to celebrate Jesus ?

 

[TimFitz]

Many "white churches" have aggressively sold their soul to a man who is essentially the opposite of the Jesus Christ they pretend to follow. It has damaged families and relationships. It has stripped the church of any claims it may have still had to "morality". Christianity has been set back a long way due to what it has done.

So I guess any criticism is worth at least considering.

I don’t buy that.

Christianity will endure,

It has survived repeated attempt to subjugate it to various political ideologies.

Talarico is right to the extent that many evangelical congregations preach thinly disguised white bigotry and hatred.

Thexe are not Christian or American values. But they are well represented among the Trump supporters here, and elsewhere. This kind of white bigotry represented as wholesome American family values has been a constant throughout the South and Midwest for over 100 years.

The right doesn't hate anyone. We just want you crazy twits to obey the law.

We need to have good economic growth and have all citizens willing to pay for all of his Jesus type views. Two trillion dollar a year deficits now. I am saying this to you. We live off of near slave labor overseas. And you guys have no issue with it. We became a debtor nation in the early 1970's. Communism will not work. Christianity is one facet of humans having guilt in crimes committed. In helping other humans. You smooth that over for people living with different lifestyles. You make too many heroes out of too many losers. Spurred on from propaganda and brainwashing. You are Jim Crow and denying others only from a different view. Now you idiots are converting to Communism.

TRUMP And who says TDS isn't real?

 

[Rawley]

Black Churches have always understood Jesus better than White Churches

Church is a celebration of Jesus with singing and dancing and people shouting out praise. People come out happy enjoying the service.

White churches are dull events centered around the pastor. Church is an obligation not a celebration

You should find a different church

Seriously, what church are you going to that is preaching such hate.

 

[Lockback]

Is that all you have? Give us examples smart guy. Vague and generalized allegations have no value. Do you have to achieve a certain number of posts each day even if you're saying nothing????? 15,000 posts in 9 months.

Your staggering ignorance and big, nasty mouth are a really bad combination.
Here's just a couple examples: The Democrat Party just nominated three COMMUNISTS in New York City.
The Democrats now favor illegal aliens over the American citizens. Trump challenged the whole House chamber to stand up for citizens over illegals and not one Democrat stood up.
I mean, you can try to ignore reality in your little Marxist Canadian world, but you don't have a clue.

I find it disturbing that ICE detainees are made to sleep on the floors with no blankets. And I find it disgusting that they are worms in their food.

According to whom?
Those stories have been shot to dollrags repeatedly. Your little Marxist network loves spreading lies like that.

I find it disturbing that Jared Kuchner got $2 billion from the Saudi's and I find it disgusting that he's now asking MBS for more money.

Be specific about what things disturb and disgust you as a Christian man.

Watching my nation being torn apart by Leftists disturbs and disgusts me.
As I've stated many times - and this is not a hope in any way but a statement of what I believe is true - America is headed for civil war. Rational people are in the Republican Party. Irrational people are in the Democrat Party. And the gap widens more every day. The Democrats nominating three communists just this week alone is further proof.
