John Kerry Gets
Mixed up Quoting his Favorite Bible Verse-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor The eRumor says that John
Kerry tried to demonstrate his commitment to faith during a speech
by quoting his favorite Bible verse.
He meant to refer to John 3:16 but referenced John 16:3 instead,
with humorous results.
The Truth
This is one of those eRumors that
gets circulated every election year...with the name of your least
favorite candidate inserted.
It's a hoax and never happened to John Kerry.
The story has also been spread using the names of Al Gore and George
W. Bush.
Christian author Cal
Thomas, however, says he was present at a convention in Washington, D.C. when
that slip of the lip did occur...but to then President George Bush, not Al Gore.
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet
The Lord has a way of revealing those who really know Him, and
those that don't! Think about it!
John Kerry gave a big speech last week about how his faith is
so "important" to him. In his attempt to convince the
American
people that we should consider him for president, he announced
that his favorite Bible verse is John 16:3.
Of course the speech writer meant John 3:16, but nobody in the
Kerry camp was familiar enough with scripture to catch the error.
And do you know what John 16:3 says? "They will do such
things
because they have not known the Father or me."
