Christians devote enormous efforts to elect Christians to public office to protect our way of life and our country's founding Christian principles, and in this case Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick turns around and betrays Jesus and the Holy Bible (KJV1611).
Under pressure from Social Media and the LIEbral MSM not only did Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick "apologize" for the quote from the Bible KJV1611), but removed the quote from his Twitter account. His "excuse" was that the quote was "scheduled" several days before the Orlando shootings. So now, did it ever occur to the faithless Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick that Jesus just might have had something to do with the choice of the Bible (KJV16111) passage quote days in advance?
Instead of apologizing to the media, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick should be on his knees asking Jesus for forgiveness for betraying Him and His Holy Book.

The Texas lieutenant governor is being called out as a "disgrace" for an ill-timed tweet just hours after what turned out to be the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
After at least 50 people were killed at gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday, Dan Patrick tweeted: "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."
Lt. Gov. Patrick apologized later Sunday for the tweet, saying that it had been scheduled several days before and he "regrets the unfortunate timing."
The 66-year-old Republican was quoting the Bible, specifically Galatians 6:7.
"You should be ashamed of yourself," one Twitter user wrote.
"You pervert Christianity in a way that would make Jesus cringe. Where is your compassion?" another person wrote.
Another person commented: "I am so ashamed of @DanPatrick, I don't think anything he says / does surprises me anymore. The man is a TX disgrace."
The lieutenant governor tweets Bible verses almost every Sunday. In a statement, Patrick's office said that the lieutenant governor is out of the country and that the offending tweet was designed and scheduled on Thursday. It was removed later Sunday.
"Lt. Gov. Patrick and every Texan is stunned and saddened by the outrageous act of domestic terrorism that has occurred in Orlando," the statement read. "He and Jan are praying for the victims, their families and their friends."
