Left-Wing Publications Quoting Bible Verses

Left-Wing Publications Quoting Bible Verses December 2, 2016

I always find it fascinating when liberal or progressive individuals or organizations quote Bible verses to support causes or candidates or issues evangelical Christians oppose, or to make points evangelical Christians disagree with. The Bible has a lot of very different types of material in it, and it can be read in many different ways. If this were not true, we wouldn’t have thousands of different Christian denominations and sects, but we do. This one, though? This one takes the cake—and echoes a point made here on this blog earlier this week.

The context of this image and caption, posted by Mother Jones, is Trump’s courting of Mitt Romney for a Secretary of State position. Last February Romney called on Republicans to mobilize to oppose Trump, portraying him as a dire threat to the party and the nation. Today, Romney is reportedly considering accepting Trump’s offer and becoming part of the Trump administration.

Text: “Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to him, ‘All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.'”
