Liz Cheney, a failed House candidate, attacked former President Trump for launching an initiative to sell Bibles on Tuesday. She encouraged him to read what the Bible says about adultery.
“Happy Holy Week, Donald. Instead of selling Bibles, you should probably buy one,” Cheney wrote in a post on X in response to a screenshot of Trump’s Bible pitch on Truth Social.
“And read it, including Exodus 20:14,” Cheney added, referencing the verse: “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”

This is how she spends Holy Week?
Donald Trump is selling his “God Bless USA” Bibles with country musician Lee Greenwood ahead of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
In a video posted to Truth Social on Tuesday, Trump said he thinks it’s important for Americans to have a copy of the Bible in their home.
He said it’s his “favorite book,” and he wants America to pray again. Trump believes “Religion and Christianity are the biggest things missing from this country. And I truly believe that we need to bring them back…”
The $60 King James Bible will include lyrics from Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.,” the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance.
Liz Cheney should buy one. She needs to concentrate on John 1:6: If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. she also needs the Constitution since she seemed to know nothing about due process during the J6 witch hunt.

Hey Lizzy, if you break one, you break them all. Every time you point a finger, there are 4 more pointing back at you.
I am not a great Christian but before I’d cast a stone at another person I’d sure wonder about what God has to say about my lesbo sister; bearing false witness; slander; and with this in mind who knows what other sins Cheney has.
But remember this. She entered Congress with 7 million dollars, because she invented so much, was so intelligent, created so much. After being thrown out of Congress six years later, she was worth 44 million.
Now I can recall the many things she created; her brilliant inventions, the thousands she employed, her many wonder cures. If only someone would remind me of them, I’ve been trying out my stash of single malts.
The 3+ year tantrum of the rich spoiled brat Cheney is getting worse.
Her failures are gargantuan. She attempted a takeover of the house GOP in early 2021, and few noticed. McCarthy, sympathetic to her, turned on her over it, and removed her from her position, then her state party censured her, then she had the biggest incumbent loss in house history.
Her anger at Trump is misplaced, she cannot accept she is the one who failed.
You are way too nice.
I don’t know what part of the Bible says it is wrong to cheat, deceive and lie but I would tell Liz Cheney to read that part.
What she did in the Jan6 committee was a lot of cheating, deceiving and lying.
The rich spoiled brat, who never really lived in Wyoming, breaks any rule she can.
I am bothered by people using the Bible as a fund raising device.
Also-
1) There is no copyright on the KJV, so producing it is less expensive. $60 is an excessive price.
2) There are a number of better translations because-
a) the understanding of the original languages in 1600 was poor;
b) there are quite a few incorrect translations that have led people into false teachings.
c) the English language has changed so much that the phrasing is often hard to follow.
Giving Bible to people for free is something Christians can do, and like the Gideons, making the Bible available through public places including hotel rooms, etc.
P.S. Yes I am aware of all the arguments made by the “King James only” folks.
You are correct Peter. To my knowledge as of 2010 there have been 505 known translations of the Bible.
May I add? King James disliked the Geneva Bible (1560/1590) so he created his own published in 1611 which had 80 books total. It was very difficult in the 16th century to translate Hebrew since Hebrew has no vowels, only consonants.
As one example; both translate the Sixth Commandment incorrectly, “Thou Shall Not Kill” which was actually incorrect. The true translation is “Thou Shall Not Murder”.
BTW, the Pilgrims did not carry the King James Bible, they carried the Geneva Bible and an argument can be made that the Geneva Bible is/was the source of The Restoration. The Monarchs of Europe did not want the peasants to have knowledge of the Bible at their fingertips so the translators of the Geneva Bible were constantly hunted to end the undertaking of the first study Bible printed in English. William Tyndale never saw the fruit of his vision, he was strangled to death in a German prison before the G Bible was published.
The story of the Pilgrims in Europe before boarding the Mayflower proves to me they were definitely divinely guided avoiding capture, prison and execution as they were persecuted by the Monarchs of Europe. After printing the Monarchs persecuted anyone caught with the Geneva Bible. (prison and death)
Let me say this; I am not a religious or Bible expert. However, when I was a boy 1950s they taught in school the the dinosaurs lived 25,000 years ago as they taught evolution although we were still saying a prayer before first class. At church in Bible study (1950s) I was taught God created the heaven and the earth but when I ask why, the response was because the Bible said so but the books at school said it was evolution. Honestly for 50 years I wondered which was correct. Many people told me it was both, even pastors.
So when I retired I spent many hours reading and researching for the answer, is it evolution or creation? I wanted to be able to explain it either way according to science. I figured it out!
Again I’m no expert like you Peter on the subject but I sure learned a lot finding out!
Oh BTW, as a foot note; many Bibles leave out Hyssop when Moses said smear the blood of the lamb on the doorway. There was a special purpose for Hyssop in Moses instructions.
Another is many Bibles leave out that Mary M used Spikenard washing Jesus feet. A special ingredient used for that purpose during Biblical times.
Note: The New King James Version (NKJV) has the Sixth Commandment as “Thou Shall Not Murder”. It’s the only KJV that has it right.
WOW! Published in early 1800S? Family heirloom? What year was it published?
Thanks. I’m little confused, the Mayflower Massachusetts Plymouth Pilgrims formed their colony Dec 1620. (Smile)
Is there anything too hard for God? . . Confusion is from the enemy (devil). If God can make a donkey talk, I’m sure he can use any translation to draw people to Christ. Christians spend more time fighting and arguing over stupid things, manmade doctrines, denominations, bible versions, . . while souls are falling into hell.
My comment “confused” pertained to M Dowling comment about the date of Plymouth Rock. The dates of her comment were confusing.
Right on Peter. I pray in King James, because that’s the only prayer version God understands . . (sarcasm intended). PS: Jesus is British.
