How to Detect Heresy: The Gospel of James Talarico with Ryan Crews

About this sermon

What are the consequences when a charming, seminary-trained politician misquotes Scripture and how can we discern biblical truth from error? Frank welcomes Ryan Crews, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and CrossExamined Board Member, to examine the twisted theology of Texas State Representative James Talarico, who's currently running for the U.S. Senate. Using Talarico's own words and video clips (not secondhand claims), Frank and Ryan compare his teachings with Scripture and explain why many of his views cross the line from theological error into outright heresy. In this episode, they'll answer questions like: -- Should Christians call out false teachers? -- Which seminary is James Talarico attending and what are their beliefs? -- What does James Talarico get right and what does he get wrong? -- Why are atheists easier to understand compared to someone who claims to be a Christian but pours different meaning into what's written in the Bible? -- Did Jesus ever ask to be worshipped or claim to be God? -- What is one of Jesus' biggest "mic-drop" moments in the Gospels? -- Do humans have a divine nature because we're made in the image of God? -- Is the Resurrection of Jesus just an allegorical story? -- Is the Bible silent on abortion? Before Christians allow any public figure to influence their understanding of Jesus, Scripture, or politics, they should first investigate whether that person's teaching aligns with the Word of God. Tune in to hear the receipts as Frank and Ryan examine Talarico's own words in light of Scripture.
