5. Here are 5 phrases
that are not in the
Bible

6. 1. “Cleanliness
Is Next To
Godliness.”
John Wesley said
this, it was part of
his social reform

7. 2. "God Helps Those
Who Help Themselves"
Ben Fraklin said this:
The Bible says the
opposite"Trust in the
Lord with all your heart
and do not lean not on
your own
understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5

8. 3. The Sinners Prayer:
The concept that one must
pray particular
words, admitting sin and
inviting Jesus into your
heart – is not Biblical. It
never mentions a prayer
such as this, no one ever
says one, nor does it state
that this is way to
salvation, or a necessary
part of faith.

9. 4. You Are
Going
To Hell – or
someone
you know or
don’t like is

10. The Bible does not talk about
hell - The four Biblical words
that are translated into hell
should not be translated that
way at least in the sense
wherein that word is universally
understood by Christians.

11. 5.When There
Is No More
Room In
Hell, The Dead
Will Walk The
Earth! (from
Dawn of the
Dead trailer

12. My favorite Biblical phrases that
aren’t in the Bible are the ones
that people (especially movies)
use – to prove their particular
portent. If you make it sound
like it is in the Bible, even
quoting a verse and chapter –
whether or not they necessarily
exist – you add weight to words.

13. A famous quote from Ezekiel 25:17. "The path
of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the
inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity
and good will, shepherds the weak through the
valley of the darkness. For he is truly his
brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great
vengeance and furious anger those who
attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And
you will know I am the Lord when I lay my
vengeance upon you.“ (Pulp Fiction)

14. What Ezekiel 25 actually
says: I will carry out great
vengeance on them and
punish them in my wrath.
Then they will know that I
am the LORD, when I take
vengeance on them.

15. It does matter that we
“know our Bible” folks. It
matters because we need
to know as much what is
not there as what is. So
download an app, Google
it, if you have no other
options, read it - and
more than that- know in
your head what it does
not contain and in your
heart what it does.

16. “The Greatest
Proof That The
Bible Is Inspired
Is That It Has
Stood So Much
Bad Preaching.”
A.T. Robertson

17. “Never Place
A Period
Where God
Has Placed
A Comma.
God Is Still
Speaking.”
Gracie Allen
