says that unborn children are not alive and so abortion is okay. you go through the new testament, sure, and every other word that comes out of the mouth of christ is about things like open those in need and you got a republican party dedicated to its opposite. there will be a reckoning over it. right now they hold everybody in line with this one kind of peace of doctrine about abortion, right? which is obviously a tough issue for a lot of people. then again, as a lot of parts of the bible to talk about life begins with breath and so even that is something that we can interpret differently. tucker: at ryan glassman is senior pastor a community church of god in cleo michigan, he is also the brother-in-law of mayor buttigieg and called on his brother to repent after his latest remarks. joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. you are, by your own description, nonpolitical, and
this is a god issue. this is a spiritual not a political issue and to be honest with you, this isn t even my opinion or pete s opinion. this is what does god say, what does the word of god truly say in the bible is just being misrepresented and misused to push a pro-abortion agenda and that is alarming, it s disgusting, it s frightening and it needs to stop. tucker: it is all of those things, i agree with you completely. having said this to your brother-in-law? i have not spoken this directly i hope he sees this. i hope all people watch this and he will reconsider, he will change his position, he will actually open up the bible and read through scripture, what scripture actually says. we need to create a culture that speaks of human life and human beings who have value. we are commanded by christ himself to uphold the dignity and respect of all human life. we need to stand for all the born and all the unborn.
life begins at conception and what s even more alarming is that those questions will withstand like mayor pete would and say that god condones that god says that abortion is okay according to scripture. that s just absurd and outlandish to me. tucker: so his contention, as i am interpreting it, is that the new testament says that abortion is fine until the child draws breath in other words, really through the end of the third trimester. do you i just want to be absolutely clear on this, is there any, in your view, christian interpretation of the bible that leads to that conclusion? absolutely not. i would just encourage all people to look at scripture again, back to psalm 1:30 nine, that we are created and life begins at conception. we need to get away this isn t a political thing to me, this is a spiritual thing to me and this isn t the dial of
are not seeking to attack your brother-in-law, but i felt it would be worth getting a review of the theology involved in this explanation of abortion. what do you think of it? absolutely, thank you for this opportunity and i would like to make a plea to pete buttigieg, my brother-in-law, that we he would reconsider his position and the way he has misrepresented scripture to push this pro-abortion platform that he s pushing. i would like to make a plea with him that he would reconsider and actually open his bible. i actually ask all people to open up their bibles as they are watching this in turn to psalm 1:30 nine, specifically verses 13 through 16 and how can you read those passages that talks about we are fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of god, intrinsically we are woven together in the woman s womb. i don t know how you can read that and come out of that with any other understanding that
