Welp, TN GOP Sen. Bill Hagerty's weekly sanctimonious Bible verse backfired big time.

[Tanuki]

He gave the wrong citation for the verse he used. Freudian slip? Intern sabotage? Laziness? Stupidity? You decide.

(OK, but if you look up Luke 16:14 in the bible, this is the actual verse:
New Inernational Version:
"The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus." )

1. Damn it!

There might be a God after all..

4. Cannot wait for John Fugelsang to have an absolute field day with this.

5. I hope someone gets a screen shot in case he figures it out and deletes

the original

6. The trouble with theological nitwits is that they're theological nitwits.

7. One of the replies even offers the correction

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God - Luke 16:14

That’s John 14:1

Luke 16:14 is about money-grubbing Pharisees

ETA - maybe it was a "Q clue".

8. I have to wonder if someone on his staff is secretly trying to undermine him!

13. Makes you wonder

I can see confusing a verse number (and that was from the New Testament). But that is like way off! There are really only 4 Gospels.

9. Better give him lots of money so he can buy a bigger mansion

er so you can wash away your sins and buy your way into heaven.

He meant John 14:1

11. Republicans have been sneering at Jesus for decades.

They just make up whatever they want to believe and then try to justify it with a few Bible verses taken out of context.

There are literally dozens of verses calling lying a sin and an abomination, yet many so-called Christian Republicans lie constantly and accepted the thousands of lies Trump told and is still telling. Yet homosexuality is barely mentioned in the Bible ( and some argue that even these references have been misinterpreted or taken out of context), but LGBTQ are an abomination to them while lying is not.

To my knowledge, there is one part of the Bible that speaks of abortion (without calling it that) and it is for a priest to use herbs to bring on aa miscarriage if her husband believes she has been unfaithful. Sounds like approved abortion to me. It’s in Numbers.

Today’s white evangelicals are mostly utter hypocrites and white supremacists. I hope they wither away over the next several years.

12. This quote is actually from the

Gospel of John. They are Jesus' words to his disciples before his crucifixion.

The Gospel of John has a tone that is different from the other Gospels, therefore should be easily recognized as the source of a quote. Any clergy or anyone who claims to knowledge of the Bible should know that. The quote from John is often used at Christian funerals.

14. Maybe he should resign......he is still an enabler to the former POS ....

15. He's an incompetent

piece of shit.

18. Not a quote from Two Corinthians ?
