Repubblica.it: Texas, Talarico vince le primarie dem: l’ex seminarista che vuole conquistare lo stato repubblicano

Una sfida non facile visto che l’ultimo senatore democratico risale all’88. Ma il 36enne cresciuto ad Austin punta sulla sua conoscenza del Nuovo Testamento per smascherare l’ipocrisia dell’ala evangelica del movimento Maga e parla con la stessa sicurezza di Obama

Texas, Talarico wins the Democratic primaries: the former seminarian who wants to conquer the Republican state.

It’s a difficult challenge, considering the last Democratic senator dates back to 1988. But the 36-year-old raised in Austin is betting on his knowledge of the New Testament to expose the hypocrisy of the evangelical wing of the MAGA movement and speaks with the same confidence as Obama.

Yep. Definitely a smarmy bastard. Egos in Texas are clearly oversized.

Received a question on how to say “The New Testament” in Hebrew and after digging in the archive I found this early video lesson.

Here you go Heather and thank you for sharing Hebrew with me.

Paul认为,得到救赎的关键是要相信耶稣死而复活,而不是遵从犹太律令。饮食禁忌、割礼,都不是关键。这种“宽容”使得非犹太教信仰的人,更加容易皈依。
对外,基督信仰是排外的。以往的多神教并不排斥信徒去信仰其他神。信仰活动,主要是祭祀活动。而犹太教与基督教都要求信徒信仰唯一的真神。
基督教又与犹太教不同,前者注重传教。多神教与犹太教都无所谓外人是不是皈依,而基督徒则广泛传播福音,希望人们皈依。
排外与传教,这两点,最终促使基督教在更大的范围传播,并主导了西方文明的发展。
另外,Paul去到一地,吸纳一批教徒,建立教堂之后,就离开去下一个地方。类似一个专做startup的咨询公司。也挺有意思。

Paul最早是虔诚的犹太教徒。他很难认可基督信仰,教授认为原因可能在于,犹太教经典中的救世主形象是伟光正的。这位英雄将会击败一切压迫的势力,来拯救犹太人。
据说Paul见到耶稣显灵,最后皈依了基督教。他的逻辑是这样:一个受刑(弱小、且受极大侮辱)而死的人,在死后却得到神的眷顾,那么他的死,一定是神的安排;他显然不是自己犯了什么罪,那么一定是神安排他为了世人的罪行而受难;耶稣死而复活,是神之国很快就要降临的证明。因此,Paul急切的展开传教活动,以求拯救更多人。
为什么说基督教不是耶稣的宗教,而更应该说是“关于耶稣的宗教”呢?
耶稣的重要教导是两点:1.末世论;2.要得到拯救,就要敬畏神、遵从神的律令生活。
而保罗的教导(也即是基督信仰的关键点)是这样:耶稣是犹太教的神派来拯救所有人的救世主。相信耶稣死而复活就能得到拯救。
