Bush Campaign Blasts Kerry's Bible Quote
Sun Mar 28,11:36 PM ET
By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer
ST. LOUIS - John Kerry (news - web sites) cited a Bible verse Sunday to
criticize leaders who have "faith but has no deeds," prompting President
Bush's spokesman to accuse Kerry of exploiting Scripture for a political
attack.
Kerry never mentioned Bush by name during his speech at New North Side
Baptist Church, but aimed his criticism at "our present national
leadership." Kerry cited Scripture in his appeal for the worshippers,
including James 2:14, "What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to
have faith but has no deeds?"
"The Scriptures say, what does it profit, my brother, if someone says he
has faith but does not have works?" Kerry said. "When we look at what is
happening in America today, where are the works of compassion?"
Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said Kerry's comment "was beyond
the bounds of acceptable discourse and a sad exploitation of Scripture
for a political attack."
