周日，这位美国参议院候选人在社交平台X上发表了一番言论，称《圣经》是他进步主义思想的基石。
On Sunday, the US Senate candidate posted a riff on X about how the Bible is the foundation of his progressivism.
据称，通过一种“幸福的巧合”，我们的救世主与塔拉里科在2026年前后的民主党纲领重要议题上达成了共识。
Supposedly, through happy coincidence, Our Savior agrees with Talarico about important planks of the Democratic platform circa 2026.
“当耶稣治愈病人时，”塔拉里科说，“他并没有要求支付免赔额。所以，当我为全民医保而战时，我是在基于《圣经》的立场行事。”这种对经文的廉价滥用，正是曾就读于神学院的塔拉里科无法抗拒的手段。
“When Jesus healed the sick,” Talarico said, “He didn’t ask for a deductible. So, when I fight for universal health care, I’m doing it on Biblical grounds.”This is the kind of cheap misuse of scripture that Talarico, a former seminarian, finds irresistible.
亚伯拉罕·林肯曾说“全能者有他自己的旨意”，而塔拉里科显然认为上帝的旨意是显而易见的，并且与他自己的政治优先事项完美契合。
Whereas Abraham Lincoln said that “the Almighty has His own purposes,” Talarico apparently thinks His purposes are readily discernible — and align perfectly with his own political priorities.
几年前，当塔拉里科极其“觉醒”（woke）时，他曾援引上帝所谓的本质来支持激进的性别理论。
Several years ago, when Talarico was extremely woke, he invoked the supposed nature of God to buttress radical gender theory.
如今，他正在参加一场竞争激烈的全州竞选，需要争取中间选民，因此他不再想讨论上帝使用什么代词，而是转而讨论耶稣如何支持这位德州人更易被接受的政治立场，包括医保问题。
Now that he’s running in a contested statewide race and needs to appeal to the middle, he no longer wants to discuss what pronouns God uses, but how Jesus favors the Texan’s more palatable political positions, including on health care.
如果我们给塔拉里科一个面子，认真对待他的修辞观点，那么耶稣之所以不收取免赔额，是因为他并非医疗服务提供者。
If we do Talarico the favor of taking his rhetorical point seriously, the reason Jesus didn’t charge a deductible is that he wasn’t a health-care provider.
就此而言，耶稣也没有接受过医生培训，没有进行过正规诊断，也没有安排过后续复诊——所有这些对于他的传道工作而言，都和免赔额的缺失一样无关紧要。
For that matter, Jesus also didn’t have any training as a physician, or do proper diagnostics, or make follow-up appointments — all of which are as irrelevant to his ministry as the absence of deductibles.
治愈神迹并非关于我们在急诊室进行阑尾切除术时所需要或期望的东西；它们展现的是上帝的怜悯。它们揭示了耶稣的身份与权威。它们指向了《旧约》经文。它们呼唤着信仰。它们预示了对死亡的最终胜利。
The healing miracles aren’t about what we need or expect when we show up at the emergency room for an appendectomy; they show the compassion of God. They reveal the identity and authority of Jesus. They point back to Old Testament scripture. They invite faith. They foreshadow the ultimate triumph over death.
塔拉里科把所有这些内容删去或置之不理，试图将这些神迹改造成寓言，用来阐释他版本的“全民医保”。
All this is cut out or ignored by Talarico as he seeks to make the miracles into parables about his version of Medicare for All.
塔拉里科在宣称“耶稣喂饱饥饿的人时，并没有哄抬价格牟利”时，也是在做同样的事。先且不论这是否暗示当代食品价格源于不公平定价；耶稣经营的不是连锁杂货店，甚至不是食品援助站。
Talarico does the same thing when declaring that “when Jesus fed the hungry, he didn’t price-gouge to turn a profit.”Put aside the implication that contemporary food prices are the result of unfair pricing; Jesus wasn’t running a grocery chain or even a food pantry.
喂饱五千人的神迹体现了上帝的丰盛，与《旧约》相呼应，为圣餐奠定了前提，并预示着上帝国的到来。
The miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 is about the abundance of God, connects to the Old Testament, establishes a predicate for the Eucharist, and forecasts the coming of the Kingdom of God.
当耶稣说“我就是生命的粮——到我这里来的，必永远不饿”时，他并没有告诉我们美国补充营养援助计划是否值得推行，或应如何设计。
When Jesus says, “I am the bread of life — whoever comes to me will never go hungry,” he’s not telling us anything about the desirability or contours of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
《新约》谈到关怀穷人的时候，也不是在设想“伟大社会”；它同样经常强调个人责任。
Talarico also leaves out that when the New Testament talks about caring for the poor, it isn’t contemplating the Great Society: There’s also often an emphasis on personal responsibility.
保罗使徒在《提摩太前书》中详细论述了家庭成员在教会出手相助之前照顾寡妇的必要性。
In 1 Timothy, the Apostle Paul discusses at length the need for family members to care for widows before the church steps up.
谈到医疗保健时，19世纪和20世纪美国基督徒的第一反应是建立自己的机构，提供医疗服务。
When it comes to health care, the reflex of Christians in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries was to establish their own institutions providing medical services.
约在1960年，美国拥有大约650家新教医院和900家天主教医院，这并非偶然。
It’s not an accident that circa 1960, there were roughly 650 Protestant hospitals and 900 Catholic ones in this country.
塔拉里科基督教进步主义最根本的问题在于：如果按照其自身逻辑来看，它会削弱《圣经》的含义，使其听起来像是对美国国家公共广播电台某一节目的通俗阐释。
The ultimate problem with Talarico’s Christian progressivism is that, if taken on its own terms, it waters down the scriptures to make them sound like a gloss on an NPR program.
据塔拉里科所说，耶稣从天上降临，不只是为了我们和我们的救赎，还为了给21世纪美利坚合众国红色州份竞选中的民主党候选人的社会民主主义政策偏好，额外增添一分可信度。
According to Talarico, Jesus came down from heaven not just for us and for our salvation, but to lend an extra increment of credibility to the social-democratic policy preferences of Democratic candidates running in red states in the 21st century United States of America.
“上帝的谜题，”G.K.切斯特顿写道，“比人类给出的答案更令人满意。”他或许还想补一句，尤其是当那些答案代表的是竞选期间端出的“最低公分母式左派主义”时。X: @RichLowry
“The riddles of God,” GK Chesterton wrote, “are more satisfying than the solutions of man.”Especially, he might have added, when those solutions represent lowest-common-denominator leftism offered up in the midst of a political campaign. X: @RichLowry
