House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The quote, however, does not appear in the Bible and is "fictional," according to biblical scholars.
In her April 22 Earth Day news release, 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.' On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our children's children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature."
Cybercast News Service repeatedly queried the speaker's office for two days to determine where the alleged Bible quote is found. Thus far, no one has responded.
Distinguished biblical scholars, however, cast doubt on the existence of the passage.
John J. Collins, the Holmes professor of Old Testament criticism and interpretation at Yale Divinity School, said he is totally unfamiliar with Pelosi's quotation.

I must be a quote from the KMV of the Bible...........Karl Marx Version, revised Standard 1848...........
I guess that’s part of Bela Pelosi’s own personal Scripture, you know, the one that also tells her that abortion and homosexual activity are not sinful.
I think it’s in the Gospel of Job?
Ask Howard Dean!
(Pro 30:6) Do not add to his words, or he will reprimand you, and you will be found to be a liar.

The first book of Perpetual Indulgence
Which Bible, not mine.
It shouldn't take a "Biblical scholar" to know that's a false quotation. Anyone who reads the Bible will know that sounds wrong. And for the journalists who wrote this article, you don't need to consult a theologian. Just pick up a concordance.
Good one... and I think that is a PERFECT place for that scumbag... (being nice here..)..
=====
On April 25th, Speaker Pelosi spoke to the League of Conservation Voters on Global Warming.
In the speech, she said:
"As it says 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.'"
Could you provide me with the book, chapter and verses? I'd love to show it to my Christian friends.
Thanks.

You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
You are being nice. I’d assign her to be speaker of the basement of that house.
The correct quote is,
“Honor The Creator, not the things He created.”
God gave us dominion over the Earth and all things upon the Earth.
Nancy is off on a moonbat tangent, as usual.
Couldn't a 5 second search on Bible Gateway answer the question?
If she wants to quote the Old Testament, how about the one where false teachers and prophets get stoned. And I don’t mean in the good way. Ha.
It is in the Global Warming Bible. Second Gore 1:1-2.
Give me a fax machine and a Kinkos and I’ll MAKE it a Bible quote.
Just like their personal US Constitution, which includes a right to an abortion and free health care.
There terms minister and creation do not appear together in any verse of the Bible.
