READ THE ARTICLE

I wrote an article yesterday and used one of my favorite quotes from the Bible. I have been quoting it for 20 years and just knew it was in Proverbs, but as I searched for it in my concordance, Bible software, multiple translations, and even the internet it slowly began to dawn on me that this wonderful passage of scripture didn't exist. Now I still like the quote, but it is not so great as it once seemed now that I know God never said it. It does not mean that it is no longer true or that I will stop using it (I left it in the article). There is truth that is not recorded in the Bible, just no truth that is contrary to the Bible. I believe the concept behind my quote are taught in scripture, just worded differently. Sometimes things sound catchier one way than another, and God was not writing a book of one-liners and catchy slogans. Of course some of the things in the Bible might have sounded quite catchy to the people who spoke and understood the original languages in which it was written. Maybe they have lost some of that catchiness in our translation process.

So, let me ask you. What do you believe is in the Bible that really isn't there. The only way to find out is to keep studying what is there. You may be surprised not only by the things that are in there, but also by some that aren't. I know I was. Here is a little quiz for you (quiz = nothing but your personal knowledge). Which of the following are in the Bible(King James Version) and which are not:

1) With God all things are possible.
2) The Lord helps those that help themselves.
3) Jesus said, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4) Consistency thou art a jewel.
5) Cast thy bread upon the waters.
6) Jesus said, my Father shall save all them that seek Him through the divers paths of wisdom revealed unto them, and not only by my path.
7) Cleanliness is next to godliness.
8) Jesus said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
9)  As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.
10) The Lord moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform.
