Bible Question:
I'd like to compile a list of "Things not in the Bible, but people think they are" and am looking here for help. Examples are, "God helps those who help themselves." is NOT in the Bible. (at least I'm pretty sure it isnt.) People think the forbiden fruit was an apple, but the Bible only says "fruit" "Money is the root of all evil" is NOT in the Bible. Can you guys help me out with this list? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: "Money is the root of all evil" is NOT in the Bible. But, it is in the Bible, taken out of context, none the less it is there: 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Praise the Lord! Norm |
