I think she referred to "The Golden Rule" which is contained in Luke 6:31

What is not at all surprising is how NONE if them cited any Verse - the question was:
"What is your favorite Bible verse?"
Senator Barack Obama: “The Sermon on the Mount, because it expresses a basic principle that I think we’ve lost over the last six years.”
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: “The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I think that’s a good rule for politics, too.”
Mike Gravel: “The most important thing in life is love. That’s what empowers courage and courage implements the rest of our virtues.”
Representative Dennis Kucinich: “Prayer from St. Francis, which says, ‘Lord make me an instrument of your peace.’ ”
John Edwards: “What you do unto the least of those, you do unto me.”
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson: “The Sermon on the Mount, because I believe it’s an issue of social justice, equality, brotherly issues reflecting a nation that is deeply torn and needs to heal and come together.”
Senator Christopher J. Dodd: “The Good Samaritan would be a worthwhile sort of description of who we all ought to be in life.”
Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr.: “Christ’s warning of the Pharisees. There are many Pharisees, and it’s part of what has bankrupted some people’s view about religion. And I worry about the Pharisees.”

I'm well aware of the Verse you cite - but there's no such a thing as a "Golden Rule" in the Bible...Originally Posted by manfrommaine

Luke 6:31 has come to be known as "The Golden Rule"
Question....is there a "beatitudes" in the Bible? If she had said her favorite verse was the beatitudes, would you have given her shit about that, too?
Senior Member
Yes.. cause that's not answering the question...

what a crock. the term "The Beatitudes" is UNIVERSALLY known to refer to Matt 5:3-12.
and of course, the real issue is that you would give her shit, not because she answered the question wrong, but because of who she is. I find it incomprehensible to imagine you spouting off on Rudy or Fred or Mitt of John referring to the common name for some scriptural passage rather than book/chapter/verse.
