In an impromptu conversation with a local pastor at Main Street Bakery in Columbia S.C. yesterday, Hillary Clinton calls the Bible "the living Word" and impressed a local pastor with her knowledge and command of scripture.
CNN first reported the story of Rev. Frederick Donnie Hunt's encounter with Clinton. He was asked by the presidential candidate what he was studying in his Bible. Hunt replied 1 Corinthians 13, and Clinton responded, "Oh I know it well."
The former First Lady and Secretary of State then recited 1 Corinthians 13:4, the well known verse about love, from memory "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." Clinton's biblical knowledge made an impression on the local assistant minister of Columbia's First Calvary Baptist Church.
"You're doing what is the most important thing to do, it's continuing to study and learn what the scripture says and what it means," Clinton told Hunt. "I have a preacher friend who sends me scripture and devotionals, sometimes mini-sermons every day."
Hunt responded to Clinton that you "always learn something when you read it again and inspect it." And Clinton replied, "Well, it's alive. It's the living Word."
Hunt, a Democrat and former Barack Obama voter, told CNN's Dan Merica in a phone interview that "I was impressed and glad that she knew the scripture that I was reading and studying at the time.
"It impressed me that someone running for president has that background. It is important to me that we have a president that has some belief," Hunt added.
Hunt is now backing Clinton's bid for the White House.

Bullshite. Completely scripted “chance” encounter.
The Lord , he uses the Good Ones.

This was a Black preacher. He’s was voting for Hillary even if he saw the horns on her head.
Impromptu conversation? Hillary?
Sure.
Anyone remember the “test of NY knowledge” she took on Letterman?
These days, being an utterly shameless phony is a pre-requisite for a political career.
