Surprisingly, she won’t give up her own big carbon ways
Ocasio-Cortez invokes Bible in response to White House on climate change
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y) on Wednesday responded to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders telling her to leave climate change up to a “much higher authority†by invoking the Bible.
While not quoting specific verses, the freshman lawmaker invoked scripture in defense of her impassioned pleas to address climate change.
“Genesis 1: God looked on the world & called it good not once, not twice, but seven times.
Genesis 2: God commands all people to “serve and protect” creation.
Leviticus: God mandates that not only the people, but the land that sustains them, shall be respected.” https://t.co/AhWd3vuVBd

The lawmaker appeared to be paraphrasing a Relevant magazine article from last year titled, “Stopping Climate Change Is a Part of Following Jesus.” The article included adapted translations of specific biblical passages.
And they can do all this with a carbon tax and taking away your freedom.
Also, same people freak out over religion, well, only the Christian religion, in a public space.
What can you say. Invoking God when it’s convenient. Only Democrats would dare do that and get away with it. If a GOP quoted the bible the world would rumble and shake to an end. The MSM and the lunatic Left would lose their collective minds and SJW that person out of existence.
AOC is a kid in a candy store. She make Sarah Palin look like a Genius. She is George W. Bush’s love child and inherited his IQ. What can you say. AOC is simply brilliant I’m waiting for her to start talking like a valley girl and die her hair blond.
I am frequently amused at how often leftists who most often neither believe in God nor the divinity of Christ quote the Bible when arguing a point. And they usually either get the quote wrong or the context wrong. Plus they always do that not as a reminder to be more “Christ-like” but rather to beat Christians over the head. The concept that Christians aren’t perfect and just forgiven never enters their minds.
Representative Ocasio-Cortez pointed out that Ms. Huckabee-Sanders, and speaking for the president, did not abide their own rules.
Ocasio-Cortez is a Catholic.
Are only white conservatives allowed to quote the Bible?
Jacob, thanks for proving the point. AOC, and you it seems, have no idea what the Bible says and neither of you can likely ‘quote’ it other than to paraphrase it to help make a point that you can’t make by being logical or honest. I have read and reread Genesis 2 several times and there is no place in it where man is told to serve and protect creation. Man is actually given dominion over creation elsewhere.
Anyone can quote the Bible. Christians do not fear a legitimate discussion with anyone who exhibits an understanding of what we believe and who is willing to participate in a legitimate conversation about those beliefs. What we struggle with is misrepresenting and/or misquoting the Bible or our beliefs simple to set up a straw man argument that you can then denounce. It’s lazy.
Occasional Cortex is white, y’know one of those white Hispanics the Gray Lady hates.
Unless they’re Lefties.
And just because Occasional Cortex says something, Mlle Noire, doesn’t make it so. She’s the one responsible for destroying the stereotype that blondes are dumb.
Even the Devil can cite Scripture to serve his own purpose.
Do you really think anyone from the party of death/snuffing babies is a true Catholic. Me neither.
Occasional-Cotex is a communist. One cannot be a communist and a Catholic at the same time. Leftists are also amusing when they try and push off an obviously non practicing person as some member of a religion. Exactly which Catholic Parrish is Occasional-Cotex a member of? When was the last time this so-called Catholic set foot in her church.
Next you’ll be telling me Hussein was a Methodist.
Anybody can quote the Bible, even you, but to be taken seriously on your quote you’d need to actually believe in the Bible. Do you believe in the Bible? Do you think Cotex does? Then she is quoting something she believe is wrong and that makes her liar by telling others to do what she herself does not believe is from a true source.
It was tRump and Huckabee-Sanders who used “God” as their authority in the first place. They said God controls climate. The Representative pushed back that the Bible claims humans have an obligation to take care of creation. Do you think tRump believes in the Bible? LOL. In a debate, isn’t it acceptable to hold your opponent to their own set of rules? If Representative Ocasio-Cortez misquoted the Bible you have grounds.
Ocasio-Cortez claims to be a Catholic, but I have no idea if she believes any or all of the Bible.
She is described as a Social Democrat not a Communist, so she’s less like Stalin and more like Sanders (Bernie, not Sarah).
President Obama was baptized as an adult in the Trinity United Church of Christ, a denomination which emphasizes the freedom of the individual conscience over adherence to creeds or hierarchical authority.
Do you really think tRump is a Christian? LOL.
No, it is the Constitution that uses God as the Ultimate Authority.
The Bible, far as I know, says stuff like that is in God’s hands, render unto God, Acts of God, etc.
And how Occasional Cortex is described has nothing to do with what she really is.
And Trump seems to be a better Christian than you, Missy Smirk of White Privilege.
You did hear your faithful Indian companion was a refrigerator mechanic in the Marine Reserve and never left the States, went AWL thrice, and has a rap sheet?
You described him as something different, too.
If Trump is any kind of Christian he is a better Christian than I.
How did I describe the Native American, Nathan Phillips?
Which makes him a better man and a smarter man. Well, actually, you’re a girl.
And for the Refrigerator, you were more interesting in describing the smirk of white privilege, but I do recall he was an Elder, whatever the Hell that is, a Vietnam Vet, a recon guy, etc.
You just took the media line and ran with it.
Hypocrite that you are.
I’m still surprised you have the nerve to show your face here and demand respect for your lies.
You’re the one that runs and hides for days at time whenever you’re caught in one of your myriad lies.
Do you think Christians are smarter and better than non-Christians?
I don’t demand anything; I just tell the truth and watch you founder in denial. Take it or leave it or prove me wrong.
“What we struggle with is misrepresenting and/or misquoting the Bible or our beliefs simple to set up a straw man argument that you can then denounce. It’s lazy.”
Even more than lazy, it’s deceitful. And we all know the Prince of Deceit to be Satan. The greatest trick the Devil ever did was convince leftists he doesn’t exist. That’s how socialism was born.
If Representative Ocasio-Cortez misquoted the Bible, point it out (I think she may have!).
There is no evidence that gods or demons exist.
Do you think the Representative is an actual agent of “Satan” or just a useful idiot?
Plenty of evidence God exists. His Son’s death and resurrection, f’rinstance.
As for demons, there’s always you, Missy.
I’m always amused when atheists quote the Bible to manipulate Christians into not being Christians.
The Global warming scam is an offshoot of the environmental movement which is itself wholly run by the communist party. The international communist party is long dead, but the seeds they planted are still flourishing because politicians discovered they can make a pretty good living by keeping the scam going.
Jesus would want you to pay a carbon tax…
Whether Occasional-Cotex quoted the Bible correctly isn’t the point which I see you’ve missed entirely.
I’ll repeat so maybe it will sink in: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was making Jacob Noire believe he didn’t exist. Again, the fact you doubt they exist proves how well they’ve fooled you.
I believe the representative is a communist which makes her an actual agent of Satan or the closest thing to it on earth.
Kay,
We really have little to discuss, agreed? Your belief in mythical demons and deities controlling humans is not supported in the least by evidence. But, admittedly, I could be wrong. Perhaps evidence for Satan, Yahweh, Allah, Osiris, Zeus, Queztalcoatl, Jupiter will emerge.
Using gods and magic as arbiters in debate seems, as you say, lazy.
I could be wrong. Is it possible you are wrong?
If Jeffery knew as much as he thinks he did (there’s that Darwin quote again), he’d know the universe itself is proof He exists (matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed).
And there’s plenty of evidence of people being influenced or inspired by God.
Then there’s all the evidence people like you are controlled by Satan’s agents. I mean, who but Satan would inspire people to murder 125 million human beings in the space of half a century?
Again, there is no point in discussing the existence of gods and demons. It’s belief vs evidence. I may be wrong, but it’s possible although unlikely that gods and demons exist.
Lots of point because I win and you lose.
You have the belief, I have the evidence.
And no may about it.
Good talk.
You’re the one that runs and hides for days at time whenever you’re caught in one of your myriad lies.
I was down in St Lucia. Too bad you’re stuck in St Lou, I hear it’s freezing there. And I have yet to lie and you have yet to best me.
Must be Hell being you.
Do you think Christians are smarter and better than non-Christians?
Well, I think anyone who has a belief in God is smarter and better than you.
Close enough?
