Netizens show Kipchumba Murkomen no mercy for quoting the Bible

Do you know your Bible well? or you on the same league with Tangatanga team?

We have seen Gospel artists quoting Bible verses to justify their sins and ‘washing’ away their bad deeds using the Holy book.

But the trend with politicians quoting non-existing scriptures is either a new thing in the Bible history or it is a sign of end times.

Mathew 6:35 quoted by Deputy President Dr. William Ruto on Sunday do not exist in all versions of the Bible.

The only thing he was right about are the words but not the verse. His ‘mtu wa mkono’ Elgeyo Marakwet senator Kipchumba Murkomen has followed suit to quote Bible verses.

His message on the Bible did not go well with netizens who thought the senator is joking with the bible.

Kenya today is the story of the Massacre of the innocents captured in the gospel as per Mathew Chap. 2 where Herod the King of Judea ordered the execution of boys below 2 years in Bethlehem&Its environs in attempt to eliminate the Messiah.Why didn’t he just go for Jesus himself ?

Do you know this story from Sunday school?

Netizens did not take it lightly and here are some of the reactions;

At this point we’re just abusing the scripture… using it to even justify nonsense 🙁😟

Another interesting reaction pointed out challenges faced by Kenyans in relation to the verse;

Just like your earthly god eliminated msando instead of going for raila, eliminated icc witnesses instead of confronting bensouda etc.. same script different cast.. on your part going for dci instead of uhuru, kutusi raila instead of uhuru etc.. iwinjo? Puga

Hehe interesting. If a ML and senator can cry on social media about 'injustice', what about the common man? But anyway, power is transient.

I think this quoting of the Bible should stop or maybe these leaders should do a refresher course on the knowledge of the Bible.
