Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico and his denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA), distort the true meaning of being a Matthew 25 church, which they proudly proclaim that they are and which they follow.The parable of the last judgment is found in Matthew 25 and describes the separation of the sheep and goats based on who fed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, clothed the naked, and visited the sick and those who did not. Identifying themselves with the sheep is a common association made by certain churches and political candidates who want to be seen as compassionate Christians. What they misinterpret is Jesus’s emphasis on the spiritual nature of his compassionate ministry.The mistaken interpretation sees the meaning of the parable as only applying to the physical and material needs of the people. But Jesus always emphasized the spiritual and eternal nature of his message and his mission.
JAMES TALARICO IS THE RADICAL LEFT’S TROJAN HORSE
When tempted in the desert by Satan to change the stone into bread, Jesus, who was fasting, replied, “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God,” quoting from the book of Deuteronomy. When the crowd gathered around him the day after he fed the 5,000, Jesus reprimanded them, saying, basically, I know you just want me to give you a free lunch again. “You need not to work for the food that perishes but work for the food that is eternal (John 6:27).”
