Al
Gore Has an Embarrassing Mix-up While Trying to Quote His Favorite Bible Verse-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: This email alleges that during a
presidential campaign speech, Al Gore told a crowd
that his faith was very important to him and that his favorite Bible verse
was John 16:3. It was obviously a reference to the well known
passage in John 3:16 which says,
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
(NIV) John 16:3, however, says, "They will do such things because they have not known the Father or
me." (NIV)
The Truth: There
is no evidence this ever happened to Al Gore. None of the reports
talks about a verifiable date, place, and time of this statement. No
documented occasions have been found. At the
very least, this is an unsubstantiated story. 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 story as it has been circulated:
The Lord has a way of revealing those of us who really know Him,
and those who don’t! Think about this:
Al Gore gave a big speech this week about how his faith is so important" to
him. In this 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 Gore camp was
familiar enough with scripture to catch the error. And do you know what John
16:3 says?
"And they will do this because they have not known the Father nor Me."
John 16:3 The Holy Spirit works in strange ways!!!
