Title: Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Bible verse isn’t in the Bible
Post by: libertybele on February 07, 2019, 07:57:17 pm
 :rolling:  Something else I've noticed is her eyebrows.  Mine aren't the greatest, but she has an eyebrow above her eyes and then she also has a side brow in more recent pictures. 

Nancy Pelosi’s favorite Bible verse isn’t in the Bible

   House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent more than 15 years quoting her favorite passage from the Bible. The only problem is that the verse doesn’t actually exist anywhere in the sacred scriptures.

With an internet full of specious quotes out there it’s easy to see how people can occasionally get tripped up by something that sounds plausible. However, you’d think that someone would have higher standards when it comes to claims about their favorite bible teachings. Not so with the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi.

The passage that Pelosi has cited as her favorite goes like this: “To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.”

Congressional records reveal she has used it 11 times on the house floor since 2002. She also cites it outside of the House including recently when she addressed Christian educators at the end of January.

However, the passage simply doesn’t exist and Pelosi, who is Catholic, recently had to admit she couldn’t find it anywhere in the Holy Book............

It is interesting that during the time that she wasn't Speaker her dementia seemed very apparent.  Recently she seems quite 'with it'.

You can make a decent Biblical argument for that one, but Nancy's not so much.  It also seems a bit more self serving.

EH...It is more of a social/political orientation of Roman Catholicism... Its origination in Lat America could lend it some vodu or atlan that I am not aware of, but on the whole it is a bastardization of Roman Catholic doctrines.

Witches have another that they serve. Other prophets, other doctrines, other god.

Not that I am defending Liberation Theology. It just ain't got the chops to be anything religious. It bends RC into Marx. Politics. Social Justice. A wolf in cheap clothing.

Raised Catholic, it is my humble opinion that Catholics, one and all, have that big *ss Roman Catholic Bible, you know, the one that records pages of births, deaths, etc, and the ONLY time it is opened is when an event occurs like a birth, marriage, death, etc.  Otherwise they collect dust.  If she is the typical Catholic, she has never opened and read a Bible.  Not EVER, unless she was the reader during Mass, which I doubt.

She is as phony as they come.  Again, she is an excellent example of why we need TERM LIMITS!
