Maybe it’s in the “book of Revelations”.

Genesis 9

God's Covenant With Noah

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

Speaker Pelosi said, “The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, '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.'

Proverbs 30: 5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."

Revelation 22

18I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

"Environmentalists who make man subservient to the natural world actually invert the biblical view of man's relationship to the earth," he said.

Why is the money line reserved for the last sentence?

Another made up Bible quote....

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.”

The best part of this was that Pelosi had also quoted Jim McDermott, stating at one point that he was quoting from Isaiah:

“The gentleman from Washington [state], Mr. McDermott, quoted the prophet Isaiah. And as the Bible teaches us, 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. Let us vote no on this budget as an act of worship and for America’s children.”

Now there’s a great source. Who’s a better expert on God’s Word than Baghdad Jim? Like he’d know Scripture if he saw it.

"To minister to the needs of God's creation..."

I hate to be picky but aren't the unborn part of God's creation? How is Nancy ministering to them? I don't think he meant by "Creation" just grass, trees, flowers, snail darters, and polar bears...

FYI, "this book" is the book of "Revelation" that John was writing at the time, not the Bible as a whole.

Moreover, John could not have been referring to the Bible as we know it today, since the New Testament did not yet exist. The canon of the New Testament would not be formally determined for another 300-350 years.

Might be helpful to actually READ the Bible before you actually try to QUOTE it!

Pelozi is so evil, I can picture her skin burning at simply touching a Bible!

The Bible is a living document that must evolve over time as a matter of social necessity. It was divinely written to endure the ages, and, consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.

Leave poor 'ole Nancy alone!

It’s an actual quote of Caesar himself isn’t it? There’s certainly nothing poetic about it.

She didn’t make it up, it’s from the New Revised Standard Living Liberal Red Letter Bible, with verses related to saving the environment, redistributing wealth and inclusion of all sexual proclivities marked in RED. It’s a brand new translation, correcting the errors of past translations which were marred by judgmentalism, ethnocentrism, homophobia and patriarchal authoritarianism.

I believe the quote is question is from the Book of Job in the New Testament. At least that’s where they moved it after another renowned Democrat Bible scholar, Howard Dean, said it was his favorite New Testament book.

Maybe she meant this passage;

Romans 1:25
25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Do you mean she did what Barack Obama did when he inferred that support for homosexual marriage was found in the Sermon on the Mount!!! Which therefore, according to Obama, means that the phrases from the epistles of St. Paul are now declared to be “obscure”.
