House Speaker Nancy Pelosi loves to quote her favorite Bible verse to the media and supporters.  The Catholic Democrat from California will often open meetings with this passage from the Holy Book, and often uses the quote to support her political agenda.

Earlier this month, for example, Pelosi addressed a gathering of Christian colleges in Washington, D.C. and shared the quote: “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.”

There’s just one problem: That quote doesn’t actually exist in the Bible.

Turns out Pelosi has been pulling out this “Biblical” quote from thin air –and she does it frequently.

Pelosi used the made-up quote at least 11 times between 2002 and 2018 according to the Congressional Record.

Maybe if she spent more time reading — and less time preaching to others — she’d know what’s actually in the Bible (and what’s not!).

Pelosi denies that she’s made it up. In a recent interview article by Slate, Pelosi insisted the quote was in the Bible “someplace.”

“I can’t find it in the Bible, but I quote it all the time,” Pelosi said. “I keep reading and reading the Bible… I know it’s there someplace. It’s supposed to be in Isaiah.”

Spoiler alert: It’s not in there anyplace.

“It is not in the Bible. There is nothing that even approximates that,” Claude Mariottini, a professor of the Old Testament at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, told Fox News.

According to The Washington Examiner, the closest quote that two Biblical scholars could find was Proverbs 14:31, which reads: “Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time Pelosi has been called out for using fake Bible quotes.

It’s been happening for over a decade — and Pelosi knows it. She just doesn’t seem to care.

Since 2008, the California liberal leader has been aware she was using a false Biblical passage to push her political agenda.

“‘To minister to the needs of creation is an act of worship’ doesn’t sound right to my ears,” Mark Goodwin, an associate professor of theology at the University of Dallas, told CNS News 11 years ago.

“To minister to the needs of creation’- yes, but not as an act of worship,” Goodwin said. “I’m not sure what she meant by that, and if I were there, I would have raised my hand and asked her to clarify that.”

“People try to use the Bible to give authority to what they are trying to say,” Mariottini said. Pelosi’s made-up quote “is one of those texts that you fabricate in order to support what you want to say.”
