Ilhan Omar Gets Ripped Apart on Twitter After Not Knowing Correct Book of Bible Name
Rep. Ilhan Omar is the last person that needs to be trying to quote the Bible.
She does not know God. She is a Muslim. Their god is not The God of the Bible.
However, she thought she was going to be cute and cite a passage from Scripture in a response to Marco Rubio’s tweet in response to a twisted and anti-biblical “sermon” from Democratic candidate for the Senate, Raphael Warnock.
The issue arose after Rubio criticized Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock for claiming that one couldn’t serve both God and the military. In response to Rubio’s criticism, Omar posted a verse from the Gospel of Matthew, both misspelling Matthew and, others alleged, misinterpreting Jesus’ words.
“Mathews 6:24,” she tweeted along with an embarrassed face emoji.
“‘No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and dmoney.’ The lies and smears of the GOP have no boundaries, but this is a disgrace and shameful.”

In another tweet, she followed: “The point here is that as a Muslim I know that @ReverendWarnock is quoting scripture in his sermon here, so I am sure Rubio does too, but he is willing to lie and make mockery of himself.”
Just because someone is quoting scripture, doesn’t mean that they’re applying it properly. Anyone can rip a passage out of context. That doesn’t make it right. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, the devil himself quoted scripture to use against Jesus, yet Jesus rebuked him.
Twitter users were quick to notice Omar’s blunder and jumped all over it.
“First word of the tweet and she misspells the first book of the New Testament as “Matthews.”

“You and candidate Warnock are both taking this passage out of context to try and score political points. These verses are about money and possessions. You should spend a bit more time reading the Bible, Congresswoman.”
