Watch out lil Marco Rubio, republicans don't own the bible just like they don't own the flag!
And just to quote the message in its entirety: "You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. "You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice;
Now I'm on a roll
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that run rapidly to evil.
A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.
Proverbs 19:5
A false witness will not go unpunished, And he who tells lies will not escape.
Proverbs 21:28
A false witness will perish, But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.
I'll leave this here or I could speak forever!
