As believers, it's always comforting to know that your elected officials have a deep knowledge and affection for the Bible. Learning the favorite scripture verses of your leaders can provide insight into their lives and the values they hold dear.
With that in mind, The Babylon Bee asked the following prominent politicians to tell us their favorite Bible verses:
1. Hillary Clinton: "Then he went away and hanged himself." - Matthew 27:5
2. Rashida Tlaib: "Behold, the people of Israel are too many..." - Exodus 1:9
3. Mitch McConnell: "..."
4. Lauren Boebert: "Dance like nobody's watching (it's in the Bible somewhere, I think in the back near the maps)."
5. Donald Trump: "When you saw only one set of footprints, my child, it was then that I carried you." - Two Corinthians
6, Barack Obama: "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." - Genesis 19:5
7. Al Gore: "And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up." - Revelation 8:7
8. Ilhan Omar: "And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife." - Genesis 20:12
9. Bill Clinton: "Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife." - Proverbs 21:19
10. Nancy Pelosi: "I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns." - Revelation 17:3
11. Nikki Haley: "So the last shall be first, and the first last." - Matthew 20:16
Reading the list above makes it abundantly clear how important the Bible is to America's most revered leaders. No wonder our country is in the shape it's in today!
Babylon Bee can often seem irreverent to some. To others it’s satire with a strong dash of truth.
“Donald Trump says it’s Tony Perkins’ fault he said “two Corinthians” instead of “Second Corinthians” during a speech at Liberty University this week.
“Tony Perkins wrote that out for me – he actually wrote out 2, he wrote out the number 2 Corinthians,” Trump said. “I took exactly what Tony said, and I said, ‘Well Tony has to know better than anybody the Republican presidential front-runner said in an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon”
you are
your
we all make mistakes... even trump...
two corinthians walk into a tent... they buy it
Dang, missed the BB in the title of the story. Big gotcha on me. LOL
Here for the comments..
“we all make mistakes... even trump”
Yes absolutely.....you have however, people right here in this thread that refuse to acknowledge the man has ever done ANYTHING wrong....and the fact that they are willing to push back on something so trivial and minor is a perfect example. 🤷 Lol!
“Ephesians 6:12
King James Version
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
That’s right. I’m from another part of the world and that’s how I grew up saying it.
Some cheap shots, but very funny.
Everybody knows it’s supposed to be pronounced “Corinthians the Second”
Obama: I am the lord your god.
12. Joe Biden: “The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born.” Leviticus 19.34
The verse I live by is 1 Chronicles 26:18.
Thumbs up to whomever came up with these at the Bee! Spot on!
“I remember Trump actually said it that way on the campaign trail......not a good look. SMH”
TWO Corinthians is CORRECT! 2 Corinthians.
How do you spell 2nd Corinthians?
I’ll show you
Second Corinthians. Is that how your bible has it?
My bible spells Two Corinthians as 2 Corinthians.
Now, say Two Corinthians and then 2 Corinthians out loud.
Do they sound any different?
How about Second Corinthians? Does that sound the same? No.
Yeah, that’s not the name of that book in my bible.
And Mare Pete knows all about fruits.
