James Talarico’s ‘Pastor’ Says
Christ ‘Didn’t Die To Save Our Sins,’
Questions Whether Jesus Ever Existed
Christ ‘Didn’t Die To Save Our Sins,’
Questions Whether Jesus Ever Existed
By Decision Magazine: Undercover footage has exposed the teachings of a lesbian minister from Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate—and aspiring pastor—James Talarico’s home church. The minister, who reportedly uses “they/them” pronouns, claimed Christ “didn’t die to save our sins,” condemned God as “a vengeful, killing-people kind of God,” and questioned whether Jesus ever existed.
The footage was caught on camera and reported by an undercover journalist for The Daily Wire.
The Rev. Babs Miller, a minister to the parish at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, who reportedly identifies as nonbinary, told the journalist, who was pretending to be a prospective new member, that the Gospel “doesn’t make sense.”
“Jesus was political,” she said. “Jesus was put on that cross, not to save us; Jesus was put on that cross because Rome hated Him and they thought He was a threat to their domination of that area. And so they killed Him. He didn’t die to save our sins.
“That makes a whole lot more sense to me than to say that some God would kill His Son for us. That doesn’t make sense. How does that make up for all the things I can do? No, it doesn’t.”
She also said the virgin birth stems from “pagan beliefs,” rather than a Biblical reality, and Jesus Christ’s existence has no meaning to her.

After Decades Of Debate, Scientists Are Finally Testing The Noah’s Ark Site
By PNW Staff: For decades, one of the most intriguing archaeological mysteries in the biblical world has been sitting in the mountains of eastern Turkey.
From the air, it looks remarkably like the outline of a massive ship.
Its length is approximately 515 feet. It sits in the region traditionally associated with Noah's Ark. Radar investigations have detected unusual linear features and voids beneath the surface. And researchers have spent years arguing over whether the Durupınar formation is simply an extraordinary geological coincidence — or the remains of something far more significant.
Now, for perhaps the first time, the argument is moving beyond photographs and radar screens.
Researchers have drilled deep inside the formation.
And almost immediately, they encountered something they weren't expecting.

Jews And Christians Around The World Unite In Prayer For Neria Leiter
By Tamar Stein: The son of Israel’s ambassador to Washington, a reservist who kept serving after his brother fell in Gaza, is fighting for his life after a terrorist ramming attack
From Pastor John Hagee and Christians United for Israel to Paula White-Cain and the National Faith Advisory Board, and from U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee to the Black Christian Leadership Council on Israel Relations, Christians across America are praying for the life of a wounded Israeli soldier. In Israel, the call is echoing from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog to the terror victims’ organization OneFamily, and from the right-wing government to a Reform rabbi in the opposition. They are praying for Neria Dov ben Chana, 39, the son of Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter. He lies in critical condition in Jerusalem, and his father says he needs a miracle.
“We need a miracle,” Ambassador Leiter said from Shaare Zedek Medical Center. “Jews, Christians, anyone who cares about this phenomenon of the return of the people of Israel to their land.” He said that “hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps millions by now, are praying together, Jews and non-Jews, for the recovery of our Neria.”
The Attack
On Wednesday, September 23, a 29-year-old terrorist from the village of Beit Ur al-Tahta drove his car into Israeli forces at the Maccabim checkpoint on Route 443, the highway linking Modi’in and Jerusalem. Neria, a reservist, took the full force of the impact. Troops at the scene shot the terrorist dead.
Neria was rushed unconscious to Shaare Zedek, where surgeons operated on his brain for hours. “His condition is stable,” said Prof. Alexander Yoskovich of the hospital’s neurosurgery department. “His condition is still serious and his life remains in danger.”

Abdul El-Sayed To Speak At Conference Calling For Muslim Takeover Of U.S.
“If 6-8 Million Muslims Unite In America,
The Country Will Come To Us”
The Country Will Come To Us”
By Daniel Greenfield: “Wherever you came from, you came to America. And you came for one reason—for one reason only—to establish Allah’s deen,” Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a former vice president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), had told Muslims, “democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam.”
“Muslims in America are the most strategic Muslims on Earth,” the top Islamic figure, who has posed with numerous politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, said.
“If you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam.”
“If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate,” the unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing predicted. “Take my word, if eight million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”
