Nancy Pelosi’s lost Biblical verse

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 24, 2008 10:06 AM

1abible.jpg On Earth Day, Nancy Pelosi quoted the Bible: “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 honor the earth and our future generations with a commitment to fight climate change.”

Apparently, it’s a favorite verse of hers. She has used it in official statements on global warming, the budget, Martin Luther King Day, Christmas, and why she’s a Democrat. Jim Hoft has audio chronicles.

Dr. Claude Mariottini, an Old Testament scholar, noted on his blog last year and this year that no such Biblical verse exists.

CNS News asked other Bible scholars for the source of the quote in the Old Testament that Nancy Pelosi keeps invoking.

They can’t find it either.

Can you?

***

Maybe her couch buddy Newt Gingrich can help her out?

Blogger Joel Osborn: “I guess my questions about mixing church and state aren’t a concern here. Unless you count the made up religion of environmentalism.”

Stacy McCain gives Nan an assist:

Normally, I don’t help Democrats, but because I am bitterly clinging to my religion — and since I’m already working with Rush Limbaugh to help Hillary Clinton stage her comeback — in this case I’ll be happy to cite chapter and verse. Genesis 1:28:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

This verse kind of pisses off the Planned Parenthood crowd, to say nothing of the animal-rights activists.

Of course, Mrs. Pelosi is a typical liberal hypocrite in this regard. She supports population control, but has five children herself, much like Al Gore, who frets about mankind overwhelming the Earth but is a father of four, or Ted Turner, who supports China’s one-child policy but is himself a father of five.

Since Mrs. Pelosi seems to be in such need of biblical guidance, I suppose she won’t mind a backslid Baptist preaching her an old-time gospel sermon.

Because, you see, if you’ll “spend a little time in the Word” — as we bitter Bible-clingers are wont to do — once you get finished reading the Old Testament, you come to something we call the New Testament, which is about a guy named Jesus. Maybe you heard of him.

    I guess it all depends on what Bible you believe in. “Bible,” after all, is derived from the Greek “Biblios,” which means book. That’s why the Bible we are most familiar with has “Holy” in front of it - literally, “Holy Book.” I doubt if the “bible” SanFranNan reads from is holy in any way.

    Politicians misquote the Bible all the time. They often quote “An eye for an eye” as advocating harsh firm punishment. If you read it in context it means something completely different: don’t escalate feuds by excessive retaliation.

    Then there’s the Bible’s prohibition against homosexuality. The Bible condemns in stronger terms such things as working on Saturday, wearing clothes with blended fabric, and failing to forgive debts every seven years.

    I guess if you have never read the Bible, and most of your constituents have never read it, then you can attribute just about anything to it and not be questioned. Nancy’s problem is that as Speaker of the House she is listened to now by folks down here in the “Bible Belt”, who went to Sunday School.

    From the Book of Al:

    And ye shall make an idol out of gold to honor my name. The idol shall be in the form of a large swine, 100 cubits by 100 cubits…

    And

    The sermon attracted multitudes of the people, hungry and thirsting. And they came unto him and said, “Master, how are to we provide sustinance to the masses, who thirst and hunger?” And Al said unto them, “Bring me the loaves and wine, that I may consider this matter”. And the stores of food and drink were brought forth to the Goracle so he could consider the plight of the people. After many hours, the master appeared and said, “I have thee a solution to thine problems! I fear, however, in my deep thinking on the matter, I have consumed all the loaves, meat, fowl and fished; I have partaken of all the wine. But I have supped and drunk for the good of all of ye, to impart my true wisdom to ye knaves.” And the people dropped upon their knees in gratitude for his knowledge”.

    Then the Goracle intoned and commanded: “Go forth to all the towns and all the villages, and gather all the coin of the realm. Gather all precious gem and mineral. Ye are forthwith commanded to bring them unto me. I will then give ye one part in 100 so ye may go forth and procure food and drink to ease the hunder and thirst of my followers. then remaining 99 parts shall be thy tribute to me.”

    And all was good.

    Actually, it’s known as “Hamurabbi’s Law”, and it meant nothing of the kind. It’s also worth noting that present day law imposes nothing even approaching this level of equivalence, which may help account for the crime rate.

    I disagree. I believe one of the main reasons that the left has attained so much power in this country is simply that their ideas are so ludicrous that people think it isn’t worth while debating them. It wasn’t very long ago that socialized medicine was just a big joke. If either Democrat wins this election, it could be reality.

Killing someone who breaks in your home with a gun who is about to shoot you is totally different than being on the other end of that scenario and willfully murdering another human being.

    I disagree. I believe one of the main reasons that the left has attained so much power in this country is simply that their ideas are so ludicrous that people think it isn’t worth while debating them. It wasn’t very long ago that socialized medicine was just a big joke. If either Democrat wins this election, it could be reality.

    Txvet2 … that’s probably one of the most astute observations I’ve seen recently. You’ve summed it up quite well. I’ve experienced it first-hand. I’ve failed to call out stupid ideas for what they are, only to see them take root in the manure of ignorance and take off like weeds.

    Then I’m left scratching my head, astounded at how easily the blind can lead the intellectually lazy.

I turn my right cheek often to show the other one, I’m hoping it gets struck…… there’s the rub in that phrase, it isn’t an act of submission. Historically had you been struck on your right cheek , it would have been a backhanded strike… a very insulting action. You turn your left cheek to the aggressor, if he strikes you again then you have shown his arrogance and bullying ways and can act accordingly. Jesus wasn’t about submission.

    Because in the 2006 election cycle, the Political Action Comittee for Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), the nation’s top ethanol maker, gave $120,000 to federal candidates while fellow agribusiness giant Cargill, No. 2 in ethanol, gave $223,000 to House and Senate candidates.

    Now both my trucks, & I’ve noticed many other vehicles ping like hell since the fuel distributors are cutting the gasoline too much with this stuff, like cocaine dealers who put flower/talc in their product to make more money.

    Pinging damages engines over time, but Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care, because we pay for all the engines/automobiles that cart her sorry ass around too!

    It’s time people push back against this green-bat sh*t. Enough is enough.. I’m tired of going broke just trying to get to & from work. Pelosi took over Congress & did NOTHING she said she would about fuel costs, & now the Dems want even more taxes on fuel.

    Here me now peeps. For the first time EVER, companies are naming FUEL as being a bigger expense than LABOR/people.

    Meanwhile Bio-fuelers & Politicians accepting lobbyist money are fleecing us, & threatening our economy with this Go Green BS. It needs to stop. Do you see the black moon rising over our economy here? $3.58 per Gallon average with no end in site? How long can the economy sustain that? NOT LONG!

    I want to hear Pelosi’s Bible verse for that.. How about “Thou Shalt Not Steal for Thy Neighbor.”

    And this:

    28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; 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.”

    29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. ”

    And from Revelation 14:
    7and he said with a loud voice, “(A)Fear God, and (B)give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who (C)made the heaven and the earth and sea and (D)springs of waters.”

    From the Book of Al:

    And so it was hot. The land was warming. The heat’s measure was one barrel of sweat for every hour of every day flowing from the Goracle. The people were afraid.

    The Goracle spoke. “be not afraid, for I bear good news. I will shield thee from the heat of the earth. In my divine wisdom, I will cool my flock”.

    And the people cried, “But how, master? We tremble without your presence”.

    Extending his hand, Al intoned, “Ye shall be calm. For I will help thee. I will grow in size to create a cooling shade for all ye who follow me. I will grow such bulk as to create my own field of gravity, thereby possessing my own atmosphere and clean air. Thee shall take refuge within me, and shall be sheltered by my mass. ”

    “Go forth and slay 10 times 10 times 10 times 10 beasts of the field. Ye shall part their flesh from their bones to feed to me. Ye shall cut their flesh into strips of a hands width by the length of the beast. Ye shall sew the strips of all the beasts together, so I shall have a cinch for mine waist. ”

    “Ye shall make all thine riches mine, so as to pay homage to mine love for you. Be gone, and allow me to grow.”

    And so the Goracle grew in size and mass. When celestial matter began to find orbit around the Goracle, he knew that the time had come. And he gathered the people and spoke:

    “Ye know have shelter in mine mass. Mine shade shall cool ye and mine mass shall have clean air to fill thine lung. Verily I say unto thee, what is mine is mine, and what is thine is mine. ”

    And the people rejoiced, and all was good. Al the most merciful, praise be his roundness.

    God expected man to “keep” the land (Gen. 2:15). Obedience to God is absolutely an act of worship. We are to honor God in everything we do, so every act ought to be an act of worship.

    The Bible does not teach that God rejected Cain’s offering because it came from the land (although many preachers read this into the text).

    In fact, one of the offerings in Leviticus is the grain offering (Leviticus chapter 2), which did not involve animals or blood. It was second in importance only to the burnt offering.

    The Bible does approve of people using animals for food and clothing, but it does not condone being abusive to animals. The same holds true for the land.

    That doesn’t mean I agree with the environmentalists. They elevate the land over people, when the Bible clearly teaches that man comes before the animals and the land.

    From the last link

    We must appreciate that the Israelites had recently been liberated from Egypt. In Egypt they were exposed to, and influenced by, the pagan practices of that society. Therefore, they still had an attraction to the primitive, and were still subject to the insecurities of the instinctual part of their personalities.

    Note to San Fran “They still had an attraction to the primitive” yes replacing the divine with the earth would fall under “primitive” or “pagan” which some people would describe some of San Fran’s cross dressing mocking the catholic church citizens.

    It is pretty clear GOD was not pleased with Cain’s offering.

    God did not accept Cain’s offering, but the Bible doesn’t say why. Many preachers assume that it was because God wanted animal sacrifices only, but the Bible does not teach that. Since Cain hated and ended up killing his brother, the reason God rejected his offering was probably because of Cain’s attitude. Cain may have given the leftovers and not the first fruits, which also would have been insulting to God.

    In Leviticus 25:4, God commands that a Sabbath rest be given to the land every 7th year. So there are commands from God to take care of the land.

    The eye for an eye is a principle of justice - that the punishment ought to fit the crime. It sounds barbaric to those who are soft on punishment, and too nice for those who are too vengeful. It is neither harsh nor soft, it is a fair standard and indicates that punishment is a part of justice (whereas many liberals say it is wrong to punish, that our only goal should be to rehabilitate the criminal).

Prisons don’t do that which is why recidivism rates are so high. Granted, some are beyond rehabilitation, but its an important aspect of punishment nonetheless.

    With conservatives arguing like this, it’s understandable that liberals win the arguments. Insult and dismissal are not reasons.

    FYI, medicine is more effective in Europe than here, with the exception of certain very expensive and rarely used (both there and here) procedures.

    It is pretty clear GOD was not pleased with Cain’s offering.
    God did not accept Cain’s offering, but the Bible doesn’t say why. Many preachers assume that it was because God wanted animal sacrifices only, but the Bible does not teach that. Since Cain hated and ended up killing his brother, the reason God rejected his offering was probably because of Cain’s attitude. Cain may have given the leftovers and not the first fruits, which also would have been insulting to God.

    Maybe.

    Or

    The sacrifice was to be a blood sacrifice a precursor, if you will, of the requirement of the future sacrifice to come. GOD’s plan in sacrifice was the atonement of sin through shed blood. You still, to this day, can get blood out of a turnip.

    I will leave it there so as not to “proselytize” and upset some of our trolls.

    Pot, meet kettle.

    Links and statistical studies please to back up your claim that socialized medicine in Europe and Canada are “more effective”. Such a lovely and broad generalization, left so much room for error.

    Here are is a start to claims on the contrary for our liberal “friends” from a Canadian no less:

    Socialized Medicine Doesn’t Work

    I was once a believer in socialized medicine. As a Canadian, I had soaked up the belief that government-run health care was truly compassionate. What I knew about American health care was unappealing: high expenses and lots of uninsured people.

    My health care prejudices crumbled on the way to a medical school class. On a subzero Winnipeg morning in 1997, I cut across the hospital emergency room to shave a few minutes off my frigid commute.

    Swinging open the door, I stepped into a nightmare: the ER overflowed with elderly people on stretchers, waiting for admission. Some, it turned out, had waited five days. The air stank with sweat and urine. Right then, I began to reconsider everything that I thought I knew about Canadian health care….

    I soon discovered that the problems went well beyond overcrowded ERs. Patients had to wait for practically any diagnostic test or procedure, such as the man with persistent pain from a hernia operation whom we referred to a pain clinic — with a three-year wait list; or the woman with breast cancer who needed to wait four months for radiation therapy, when the standard of care was four weeks.

    Government researchers now note that more than 1.5 million Ontarians (or 12% of that province’s population) can’t find family physicians. Health officials in one Nova Scotia community actually resorted to a lottery to determine who’d get a doctor’s appointment.

    These problems are not unique to Canada — they characterize all government-run health care systems.

    And this is but one of many. But you keep your head in the sand there LGM and toe the party line.

    lgm,

    Before you can “win” an argument you first have to make a point. You can’t say, “the earth is 4 billion years old now prove me wrong in 4 lines or less. See you can’t I win you lose.” That is a 5th grader debate tactic.

    Your posts did not make a case for Pillosee while most of us conservative comments tore her “quote” to pieces.

    Now you want to make a case for medacine in Europe? So you are doing the liberal tactic, “I say it is, you have to prove me wrong” while you will ignore any fact given.

    Go play with your other troll buddies. SCAT!

    Make sure you tell that to wealthy Europeans, the next time they fly over to the United States for everything from annual checkups to oncology!

    Or perhaps they are just acting in solidarity with their Canadian brothers and sisters?

    I have a bachelor’s degree in Christian theology, and I can’t think of a single verse that even sounds similar to the one she’s claiming. Unless it’s in the apocrypha (the books that only a few obscure Bible translations tend to include because they’re so far-fetched).

    But maybe she’s thinking of this verse:

    Romans 1:25 - They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

    I can totally see how she got Global Warming legislation out of that.

    Yes. Why don’t we voice our discontent by conducting ourselves in reasoned and peaceable fashion, like liberals?

    Wouldn’t the world be a better place then?

    This woman quoting the Bible to prop up her liberal belief systems (if this quote even exists) is yet another typical example of liberal arrogance. This woman can malign Conservatives and their belief systems but when it suits her, she can use the Bible or make up a biblical verse to support her wacked out agenda.

    Hey Nancy, do you know the word “heretic?” :-(
