Ocasio-Cortez invokes Bible in response to White House on climate change
By Owen Daugherty - 01/23/19 06:23 PM EST
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) on Wednesday responded to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling her to leave climate change up to a “much higher authority” by invoking the Bible.
While not quoting specific verses, the freshman lawmaker invoked scripture in defense of her impassioned pleas to address climate change.
“Genesis 1: God looked on the world & called it good not once, not twice, but seven times,” she tweeted. “Genesis 2: God commands all people to 'serve and protect' creation.”
"Leviticus: God mandates that not only the people, but the land that sustains them, shall be respected," she added.
“You shouldn’t need a Bible to tell you to protect our planet, but it does anyway," she wrote in a follow-up tweet.

The lawmaker appeared to be paraphrasing a Relevant magazine article from last year titled, "Stopping Climate Change Is a Part of Following Jesus." The article included adapted translations of specific biblical passages.

I heard some of her tripe on Mark Levin the other night with the sheep lapping up her Marxist vomit. I am not necessarily worried about her. I worry about those who blindly follow her.
I would say journalists fill a lot of those slots.
Wrong.
She can’t read.
In addition, the bible is a bit tougher, evidently, than a degree in Underwater Basket Weaving...er...Economics from Boston Lunniversity.
Actually, I think you’re really right, there is something really wrong with her.
Occasional Cortex is ramping up in a manic cycle of her bipolar disorder. She can’t stop blabbering, she won’t shut up, and she’s having delusions of grandiosity and power.
All this ramped-up manic braying and jabbering is definitely a sign of mental illness.
Plus she’s also a malignant narcissist.
This dumbass will say anything and expect folks to believe it.
Many have said that. Just let her continue her idiotic babel, if her followers can’t see her for a fool, then it is their problem. She will soil her nest very quickly. The media made her and the media will reject her once that happens.
Johnson seriously misjudges her. He underestimates her danger.
She is not an idiot. She believes a completely different world-view.
That worldview has been used to murder 100 million or more people in the last century.
Meth head and or crack head. She going to crash and burn.
Atta girl! On your knees Ringworm!
Politicians using scripture are like fashion models using power tools.
God doesn't say is was good. Why? because its Satan's domain.
Problem is she doesn’t know how to protect the planet either
“Rule #4 “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“
using the Bible as the ‘book of rules’ always draws attention.”
I don’t think she really wants to establish the Bible as her political rule book, since the Bible condemns 99.9% of her social justice war cries.
Breitbart has an AOC countdown clock to her end of the World
Religious authority and bratty Bronx bartender. Is there anything Occasional-Kotex isn’t an expert on?
Bets on if this is the first time she’s even read her bible? (Or more likely,” The Bible or Dummies”)
does anyone else find it interesting that liberals, who belittle any Christian religion, and only please creedance in Islam, should come out quoting the Bible and something from the Christian religion?
Liberals despise Christianity except when they need to make a smartass Twitter comment. She’s no more Christian than I am, except that I respect Christians and do not belittle them.
+1
Exactly. They also covet money, possessions, land etc.
It’s like arguing with an idiot when you try to explain their ‘environmentalism’ is a political movement not Conservation or caretaking.
‘rather than trying to preserve the earth for thousands or even millions of years to come, we are to be good stewards of it for as long as it lasts, which will be as long as it serves God’s sovereign plan and purpose’
So... she wants us to protect the planet? How does that square with what God has said is going to happen to the planet? How about this for a start? Matthew 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken."
God is so concerned for the planet? Puny little mankind is helpless against the power of almighty God. I think this verse demonstrates that God doesn't care about the planet at all... after all, he could just speak the words and there could be another one. On the other hand, there is one thing that he does care about...the souls of everyone on this one and in fact, so much care He sent HIs son to die for all.... including AOC.
Somebody needs to remind Miss Jalapenopopper 2008 that we have this thing called separation of church and state. As Nasty Nan and her Nazi Nosepickers will tell you, combining the two is “unmorninglyconstitutional”.
