James Talarico Says Black Churches Understand Jesus Better than White Churches

[Lockback]

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

It is what Jesus would have wanted

Your ability to lie is almost unparalleled.

 

[Couchpotato]

It is all about the vibe

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

Who died and made you the arbiter of what is and isnt "celebrating Jesus"?

Boy, ain't that the truth!

Talarico is reclaiming Jesus for the Democratic Party

He claims Democratic values of helping the poor, welcoming migrants, supporting the working man are more inline with the teachings of Jesus

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Talarico did say he hated Christians so there is that

No I'm talking prenatal care - miscarriages, being turned away from hospitals, for fear the hospital will be charged with providing abortions.

Lie harder.

You'll get extra SJW brownie points and eventually you'll be invited to eat your lunch at the cool kids' table.

Where do democrats find these people? Talarico’s comments read as pretty darn racist™.

It’s understandable that Talarico, as a democrat wants to pander to blacks but I don’t think he understands that such slimy tactics have a way of alienating not just the target audience but a much wider audience.

Talarico Says Black Churches Understand Jesus Better than White Churches

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico said many white churches do not reflect the Jesus described in the Gospels and that black churches have a "deeper and more accurate" understanding of what it means to follow Jesus.

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico said many white churches do not reflect the Jesus described in the Gospels and argued that black churches have a “deeper and more accurate” understanding of what it means to follow Jesus.

Speaking on the September 2024 podcast titled “Holy Conversation: Faith and Politics,” Talarico said too many white churches focus on the afterlife instead of on “freeing the oppressed and healing the sick and feeding the hungry.”

He is right.

White fundy mega churches also focus on wealth over the message of jesus too.

It’s good to horde money over what jesus said about the poor and your neighbors.

Did your jesus not advocate for those values?

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

Say it preacher Swaggert.

 

[Hollie]

Because many congregations both black and white, don't have the income and resources that the white suburban churches have. There are no "Crystal Cathedrals" in rural America either. Most of our buildings are old, and expensive to heat or maintain.

Our Presbyterian Church was a resource to our community. That was our contribution. We provided office space to charities and NGO's at well below market rents. We also provided free programming space for Girl Guides, Alcoholics Anonymous, and other community "not for profit" groups. Our minister provided free counselling to those who asked. But we had no cash to contribute to the poor, or the sick. Every dollar in the collection plate went into keeping the building open and a minister in the pulpit.

That's why this whole "Republicans give more to charity than Democrats thing is an optical illusion. Republicans donate more to their churches than Democrats. And while church donations are a service to your community, that money is NOT going to the poor or the sick, for the most part. That money is going to pay for the maintenance, utilities, operating expenses and salaries to keep your churches open. It's not going to the poor or the sick, unless you have a very large, and very well off congregation.

You’re just angry that your madrassah forces you to sit in the back row, shrouded in your burqa.

Swaggert used to like to look at prostitutes in a hotel room.

You called him a good christian.

For the unwashed cult members here.

Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart’s career was derailed by two major prostitution scandals. Caught with a sex worker in New Orleans in 1988 and detained with another in California in 1991, his massive multimillion-dollar ministry empire ultimately collapsed, costing him his national broadcasts and defrocking by the Assemblies of God. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

The 1988 Downfall

• The Exposé: Swaggart, who famously criticized the moral failings of other televangelists, was caught in a sting operation in a New Orleans motel. The sting was orchestrated by rival preacher Marvin Gorman, whom Swaggart had previously accused of sexual misconduct. [1, 2, 3]
  • The "I Have Sinned" Speech: In February 1988, Swaggart delivered a globally broadcast, tearful apology to his congregation. He admitted to unspecified "moral failure" but did not explicitly detail his connection to a prostitute. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Defrocking: When the Assemblies of God demanded a two-year rehabilitation program and a one-year suspension from preaching, Swaggart refused. He was defrocked by the denomination, left to start his own independent ministry, and lost much of his mainstream television presence. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The 1991 California Incident

• The Second Arrest: In October 1991, California police detained Swaggart for reckless driving while inside a vehicle with another sex worker, Rosemary Garcia. Garcia alleged to the media that Swaggart had hired her for sex and tried to hide pornographic magazines. [1, 2, 3]
• The Reaction: Unlike the emotional apology of 1988, Swaggart did not exhibit public remorse for this second incident. He returned to his pulpit almost immediately, telling his congregation that it was "flat none of your business". [1, 2]

Christian nationalists are not Christian. Sorry.

The lying part is relatively easy. The lying credibly is the part they are still so far away from accomplishing.

Why yes, dear. Democrat values of shielding illegal alien rapists, murderers and child molesters are obviously inline with the teachings of Jesus.

How nice that we have pastor Creepy to lecture us on what Jesus taught.

You handle snakes at your congregation services, right?

Why do you keep projecting your anger onto other posters, Hollie? Can you not discuss any topic or exchange information on any subject without losing your temper when questioned?

Given that I've spent half this thread posting about being a Presbyterian elder, your post is the truly height of stupidity, but thanks for the laugh. And keep shooting your self in the foot.
