The whore of babylon dared bring in a bible scholar to refute Speaker Pelosi's assertion that God commands us to care for the planet. Actually, I'll put the quote here because it is rather striking...
"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.' "
Amen.
I purposfully avoided bringing religion into this site for fear of alienating people, but I feel this is a moment where two parts of my life must intersect.
For the record, Speaker Pelosi has disappointed me as of late, but I feel this needs defending. She was not quoting any specific verse, which the $hill they brought in as an expert asserts, but rather summarizing rather eloquently several, not the least of which is one of my favorite.
Gen 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
If that is not a clear cut directive to be good stewards I don't know what is. The Pharisees at Fox are content to pluck splinters and exalt their own virtues don't get it, and I fear they never will.
