Franklin Graham Rebukes James Talarico: The Bible Is Not Silent On Abortion...

AS A WHOLE
"Those who have little knowledge of the Book of life and love, the Bible, will fall easy prey to false witnesses who go about the world now, deceiving even some of the elect. You must read your Bible so that you will not be deluded by the written word. The Bible cannot be taken as sectional or piece by piece, but you must know the whole, for satan has poisoned many minds. And Satan, too, can expound the Scriptures." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 26, 1979

QUITE CLEAR
"Man through the ages became dissatisfied and filled with pride. He sought to bring in, to enter upon the Bible his own interpretation of the wordings. To the simple of heart, those who do not succumb to pride and arrogance, the wordings are quite clear." - Our Lady of the Roses, July 15, 1976

Pastor Franklin Graham sharply criticized Texas Democratic state Rep. James Talarico over his false claims about the Bible supposedly being silent on abortion.

Graham is calling it “an absolute lie” for the U.S. Senate candidate to claim the Bible does not condemn killing babies before birth.

Graham, CEO of Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, responded after Talarico, the Democratic nominee challenging Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November, asserted that his Christian faith somehow allows abortion.

“I trust Texas women to make decisions about their own bodies, to shape their own destinies in consultation with their family members, their doctors, their faith leaders. I don’t believe that’s a place for government,” Talarico said in a recent interview. “Jesus never talks about abortion. The Bible is silent on abortion.”

This isn’t the first time the Democrat politician has lied about the Bible.

Graham directly refuted that assertion.

“Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico couldn’t be more wrong! The Bible is not silent on abortion as he claims — that’s an absolute lie,” Graham wrote on social media.

“God commands us, ‘You shall not murder’ (Exodus 20:13). Abortion is taking a life — it is murder.”

Graham pointed to additional Scripture affirming the value of unborn life.

“The Word of God tells us we are created in the image of God and consistently underscores the value of human life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…’” he added.

The Ten Commandments, given by God to Moses in Exodus 20:13, state plainly, “Thou shalt not murder.” Pro-life Christians note that this commandment applies to the unborn, whom Scripture describes as fully human and known by God before birth.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus makes clear the connection between love for him and obedience to God’s commands, saying, “If you love Me, obey my commands.” Therefore, violating the commandment not to kill or murder is an express act showing hatred towards Jesus.

The Bible contains numerous verses that underscore the value of preborn life.

Among them: Jeremiah 1:5, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you”; Psalm 139:13, “You knit me in my mother’s womb”; and Genesis 1:27, “God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them.”

Pro-life advocates echoed Graham’s rebuke.

Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, accused Talarico of trying “to hide behind Jesus to defend abortion.”

“‘The Bible is silent,’ he says. Yeah, that’s not how this works. The Bible is explicit. God didn’t stutter when He commanded us not to kill innocent humans,” Hawkins wrote. “Scripture makes it completely clear how He feels about preborn babies, explicitly stating that He knit us together in the womb and knew us before we were even born.”

“The spiritual gaslighting here is unreal. You can twist the words all you want, but the Bible isn’t silent about killing innocent humans who are all created in the image of God. And, [Talarico], you will be held responsible for this perversion of the Gospel,” she continued.

Talarico’s comments have drawn widespread condemnation from Christians who argue that the Bible’s commands against murder and its descriptions of God forming life in the womb clearly condemn abortion as the taking of innocent human life.

"The judgment of your God is not akin to the judgment of man. The Eternal Father will only judge by the heart. Your rank, your accumulation of worldly goods does not set you up before another. Many have sold their souls within the holy House of God. Better that you strip yourself and remove all worldly interests now while you have the time to make amends to your God, for many mitres will fall into hell." - St. Thomas Aquinas, August 21, 1972
