TUPELO, Miss. — Self-described pastor and Texas House Democrat James Talarico claimed that there is no historical or biblical foundation for Christians to express opposition to abortion or traditional views on marriage. “So this idea that to be a Christian means you have to be anti-gay and anti-abortion... There really is no historical, theological, or biblical basis for that opinion,” Talarico said in a recent interview on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. Although Talarico claims to be a “devout” Christian, he is openly pro-choice, has criticized Trump’s pro-life laws, and has opposed efforts to mandate the Ten Commandments in classrooms.
Walker Wildmon, CEO of AFA Action, the governmental affairs affiliate of the American Family Association, responded to Talarico’s claim, as it is a clear rejection of Biblical teachings.
“Claiming to be a ‘devout Christian’ while also claiming there is ‘no biblical basis’ for Christians to be against homosexuality or abortion is not just bad theology — it’s deception and open rebellion against biblical truth,” said Wildmon. “Broadcasting lies from a podcast doesn’t make them Gospel. Scripture is clear: life is sacred from the womb (Psalm 139:13), marriage is between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24), and calling evil good is a dangerous game (Isaiah 5:20). Christians don’t answer to woke ideologists who twist Scripture to fit their agenda; we answer to God. His Word isn’t up for debate, and it isn’t changing.”
