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.
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”.
I am amazed that most politicians have no problem “quoting” the Bible when it is pretty obvious they haven’t bothered to sit down and read it.
Liberals...
Now they’re making up false “scripture” to support the new liberal “religion”. Talk about buiding your house on sand.
Next thing they’ll be telling us the verses she quoted are “fake but accurate”.
Sheesh...
Give her a break. Catholics are not as good as the Baptists at spouting Bible verses. lol. Yes I am a Catholic and can attest to that. We had neighbors who were Baptists and they practically knew the entire Bible by heart while I was struggling to learn the ten commandments for my Catholic Grade school Religon test the next day. lol.
She probably meant this scripture:
Rom 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened.
Rom 1:22 Though claiming to be wise, they became fools Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
Rom 1:24 For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another.
Rom 1:25 They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions. Even their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.
Rom 1:27 In the same way, their males also abandoned the natural sexual function of females and burned with lust for one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.
Rom 1:28 Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to retain the full knowledge of God, God gave them over to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.
Rom 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips,
Rom 1:30 slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents,
Rom 1:31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Rom 1:32 Although they know God's just requirement-that those who practice such things deserve to die-they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.
I find it interesting that these new pagans, the ones who worship the earth, the creation, the environment, are exactly the ones who generally espouse the other things Paul was referring to.
That sound you heard was Bible theologians scratching their heads. LOL!
