You can’t expect Pelosi to know something from the Bible!

[Crazieman]

The Bible scholars strike again.

I love it when the Dems try to quote scripture. They always get it wrong.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

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.

[wideawake]

I wish I'd heard her use that manufactured "quote" before.

That's right up there with Streisand's manufactured Shakespeare "quote."

[sappy]

Failed Speaker, fails to quote any known scripture.

[Dazed_Catt]

The woman is a complete embarassment. Grandma has no business being where she is. Truly the worst ever.

[RexBeach]

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.

I like this response: "Mark Goodwin, an associate professor of theology at the University of Dallas, said Pelosi’s use of the quotation was vague.

'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.

San Fran Nan is prolly quoting from the ... Satanic Bible.

[Amendment10]

So far, the best explanations of Ms Pelosi's mysterious Bible passage don't reflect the idea that respect for the environment is connected with worship.

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.

[Billthedrill]

I recognize the quote - it’s from Dean’s favorite book of the New Testament, Job...

[Political Junkie Too]

Interestingly, when I heard about this I immediately thought of the opposite verse from Genesis:

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.

According to Genesis, man was supposed to "subdue" the earth, and have "dominion... over all the earth."

What? A leftist moron making stuff up?

Inconceivable!

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."

[Aquinasfan]

"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?

[allmendream]

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.”

[Joann37]

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.

[TheBattman]

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!

[Fundamentally Fair]

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!
