Sen. Raphael Warnock — a reverend — has a new interpretation of Easter that he shared with everyone today. Check it out:
The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves.

And let’s just say it didn’t go over very well:
Politics aside, this is false teaching. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”

“This is a heresy”:

I feel like we could use a lot more theological discussion in this country. This is a statement that seems made only to appeal to people who don’t know much about Christianity. https://t.co/C8zuWVz6Xk

No. The resurrection of Christ is the entire meaning of Christianity – without it there is death and the grave for Christ. https://t.co/2vkxMfCiUA

No real Reverend would say there is ANYTHING more transcendent than the resurrection. @ReverendWarnock is a phony pastor. The gospel is not in him. He is a Marxist. https://t.co/ai1qa9yijF
