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."

The Spirit works in strange ways.
