Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico’s pastor (PCUSA) preaches during his Easter sermon that Jesus NEVER rose bodily from the dead and that he does NOT believe in a literal resurrection.

Why do these people pastor churches when they don't even believe in Christ?

You know how you avoid teachers like this? You read your Bible.

2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts.

1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty. Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up—if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!

@BreitbartNews as paul said if Jesus didn’t rise, its a folly. christians are to be pitied. belief in the resurrection is everything. period. If you don’t believe it you are unchristian. end of story

Well he’s not a Christian just like Talarico, so……

Christ's literal death, burial, and resurrection is a doctrinal non-negotiable. This "pastor" is not a Christian and stands condemned.

@redeemed_zoomer thinks if you leave that church then you’re a schismatic sinner.

You can read more here, as well as see some posts from his FB feed over the years where he routinely reiterates this:

Dude is lost as a ball in high weeds.

Redeemed Zoomer has a lot of things to do in his own church. LOL

Sola Scriptura in practice, folks.

Did God really say…?

@BreitbartNews Yep, they’re all heretics.

I’d be curious to hear @redeemed_zoomer’s take on this. He’s said that you shouldn’t be schismatic unless the church is pushing you to believe unchristian things. Seems that rejection of Christi’s resurrection fits the bill.

@BreitbartNews Not a pastor Not a church

Sadly this is not unusual. I went to a seminary where they had a staff roundtable discussion on how to preach Easter if you don’t believe in the resurrection.

The bible defines this as Antichrist

@BreitbartNews Apostate. He is the shepherd feeding the naive Christian flock. A wolf in Sheep’s clothing.

Jesus warned against false prophets and teachers. KJV Matthew 7V15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Gal 1:8-9 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed 9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed

@BreitbartNews Not a Christian Pastor. More of a Satanic off shoot.

So They are not christian Good to know

Liberal/Progressive 'Christianity' is a widespread theological movement found within mainstream Protestant churches that argue that the Easter resurrection story is a metaphor, symbol, or spiritual truth rather than a literal, historical event. Anathema. All of them.

We got Sadducee + Docetism heresy

But Talarico is the “real Christian” we are told.

Heresy

I don't think that what he's teaching is Christianity.

@BreitbartNews Err, so he’s NOT actually a Christian pastor or believer in Christ as son of God, conquering death and Redeemer. Got it. Faux Christian pastor.

Then he is not saved, nor is he a "true" believer in Christ Jesus. Belief in the resurrection is paramount. When Christ died, our sins died with him. When Christ resurrected, we were given new life.

ridiculous

@BreitbartNews Why bother with Christianity at all, if that is true?

Antichrist
