Vote for your country and not your party....Nancy Pelosi and her mendacious ilk would never get elected if we do that.

[Red Badger]

I must be a quote from the KMV of the Bible...........Karl Marx Version, revised Standard 1848...........

[SuziQ]

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.

[silverleaf]

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.

[Irish Rose]

'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.'

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.

My email to Pelosi's office:

=====

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.

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.

[Always Right]

Distinguished biblical scholars, however, cast doubt on the existence of the passage.

Couldn't a 5 second search on Bible Gateway answer the question?

[Carl from Marietta]

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.

[Question Liberal Authority]

Give me a fax machine and a Kinkos and I’ll MAKE it a Bible quote.

[BlueNgold]

Just for fun I used ‘bible.com’ to do a word search - the phrase “act of worship” is found only in 2 passages - Romans (NIV) and 1 Samuel (The Message) - neither of which has anything to do with the quote Ms. Pelosi attributed to the Old Testament. I used every English translation and paraphrased version available.

It is sad... simply sad ... I would say it was evil, but I don’t think she is smart enough or aware enough to truly be capable of evil... so its just that... sad.

Why dignify some pro-abortion, anti-Christian feminist politician by quoting her biblical babblings. I hope she never admits again that she is a Catholic.

[Sopater]

Also from the article:

Indeed, Cybercast News Service has learned that Pelosi has repeatedly used the quote:

-- In December 2005, in a Christmas message to the U.S. House of Representatives, Pelosi said: "Mr. Speaker, as we leave for this Christmas recess, let us say, 'God bless you' to the American people by voting against this Republican budget and statement of injustice and immorality, and let us not let the special interest goose get fat at the expense of America's children.

"The gentleman from Washington [state], Mr. McDermott, quoted the prophet Isaiah. And as the Bible teaches us, 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. Let us vote no on this budget as an act of worship and for America's children."

-- On Feb. 8, 2007, in remarks before the U.S. House Science and Technology Committee, when it held hearings on global warming, she used the same quote, verbatim, as in her Earth Day release.

-- On April 6, 2007, in congressional remarks before the Easter recess: "In this Holy Week, we are reminded of these words 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.' We must move quickly to honor God's creation by reducing greenhouse gas pollution in the United States and around the world."

-- On April 25, 2007, in a speech to the League of Conservation Voters in Washington, D.C.: "We are now charging ahead to tackle one of humanity's greatest challenges yet - global warming. We will do this because we hold our children's future in our hands - not our grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, but our own children. "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.'"

-- On Oct. 22, 2007, in a television interview with PBS host Tavis Smiley, she used it in discussion of her roots, attributing the quote to the book of Isaiah: "I'm raised in a family in Baltimore, Maryland, my father was the mayor. He was in Congress when I was born. And we were devoutly Catholic, very patriotic. We love America. Devoutly Catholic, deeply patriotic, proud of our Italian American heritage, and in our case, staunchly Democratic.

"And that faith was related to our Democratic values. That is to say, the gospel of Matthew: 'When I was hungry, you gave me to eat.' You know, the least of our brethren. So that's an inspiration in the New Testament. In the Old Testament, Isaiah says, '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.'"

Funny how well she has this ficticious bible verse down pat, and she continues to use it. Where on earth does it actually come from?

[keats5]

The best I can figure, this is a gross paraphrase of parts of the first chapter of Isaiah, where the LORD tells his worshipers that He would rather have his people focus on justice and mercy to others, than to sacrifice more animals to Him. But to apply this to global warming is absurd.

Judge for yourself. Do you think she's obliquely referring
to this passage?

Isaiah 1: 11-17
11 “ To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?”
Says the LORD.

“ I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “ When you come to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more futile sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your New Moons and your appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of blood.
16 “ Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

[what's up]

I suspect it's this scripture she is referring to:

Gem 1:28 "...Fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Problem is Gore/Pelosi and company want the earth to rule over us...not us rule over the earth.

[Doomonyou]

Hey Pelosi, sink your fangs into this scripture:

Genesis 9

God's Covenant With Noah

1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

[anglian]

“dishonor the God who made us.” So she admits abortion is a dishonor to what God created?
