You can’t expect Pelosi to know something from the Bible!
The Bible scholars strike again.
I love it when the Dems try to quote scripture. They always get it wrong.
Perhaps she is claiming some private revelation.
You know, in the same spirit that she invents new doctrines like that a person can support abortion and still be a Catholic.
That's right up there with Streisand's manufactured Shakespeare "quote."
Failed Speaker, fails to quote any known scripture.
The woman is a complete embarassment. Grandma has no business being where she is. Truly the worst ever.
What was the Streisand quote?
Even if she got it wrong, she still thinks it’s OK to kill God’s children in their mothers’ wombs. There is no getting around that one.
'To minister to the needs of creation is an act of worship' doesn't sound right to my ears," Goodwin said. "To minister to the needs of creation'- yes, but not as an act of worship. I'm not sure what she meant by that, and if I were there, I would have raised my hand and asked her to clarify that."
There is a lot of vagueness between her ears.
BJS: You know, really good artists have a way of being relevant in their time but great artists are relevant at anytime. So, in the words William Shakespeare,
“Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.”
BJS (contd.): Imagine that was written over 400 years ago It’s amazing how history without consciousness is destined to repeat itself. So from the words of William Shakespeare to the words of Irving Berlin ”
Until Ms Pelosi can cough up an appropriate Bible passage, as far as I'm concerned, Ms Pelosi still hasn't taken the cellophane off of her Holy Bible and is unquestioningly and irresponsibly passing along "New Age" perversions of the Holy Scriptures.
Brace yourself.
The following is what Streisand charecterized as a verbatim quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar:
"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
It boggles the mind that she actually thought she could get away with attributing this wretched abuse of English as the work of Shakespeare.
Let us stop expecting politicians to know the Bible. Those days are gone.
It's too bad Fr. Drinan is no longer around to clarify Nancy's exegesis.
I recognize the quote - it’s from Dean’s favorite book of the New Testament, Job...
According to Genesis, man was supposed to "subdue" the earth, and have "dominion... over all the earth."
001:026 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 001:027 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 001:028 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 001:029 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 001:030 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 001:031 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
