Some people spread their ideologies and pretend it is in the Bible to make people accept them. A user asked the forum, “What do people pretend is in the bible but is not in the bible?” Here are the top responses.
SATAN IS IN CHARGE OF TORTURE
“That Satan is in any way in charge of torture in hell.”
GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES
“‘God helps those who helps themselves,’ it’s not in the Bible.”
THIS TOO SHALL PASS
“‘This, too, shall pass,’ isn’t in the Bible.”
MARY MAGDALENE WAS A PROSTITUTE
“That Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. A Pope conflated her with Mary of Bethany and an unnamed ‘sinful woman’ because he didn’t like the fact that a woman was important to Jesus and wanted to discredit her.”
MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL
“That money is the root of all evil. The correct quote is the ‘love’ of money.”
THERE WERE THREE WISE MEN
“Since it’s close to Christmas time, there weren’t three wise men, just three gifts. No one knows how many wise men went.”
THE LEVELS OF HELL
“The levels of hell. Dante wrote about his journey through hell. The levels are not biblical.”
CHILDREN SUFFERING
“That Jesus said anything about children suffering. ‘Suffer the children to come unto me,’ means to allow them.”
DEATH AND ANGELS
“That people become angels when they die. Nope.”
DANTE INFERNO
“Dante Inferno was adopted as canon when it was just fanfiction. So cross reference the two, and you’ll realize it isn’t canonical.”
PEOPLE WHO UNALIVE THEMSELVES GO TO HELL
“That people who kill themselves go to hell.”
ANGELS ARE HUMANS WITH WINGS
“That angels are humans with wings. They’re not. As far as I remember, there are some depictions of them in the revelation but not in much detail (I’m pretty sure that the four animals next to the throne aren’t angels, but I may be wrong on that).”
DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO
“My brother has a friend that will argue with you that Jesus said in the Bible, ‘Do as I say, not as I do.'”
TO NOT MIX RACES
“I had a roommate whose parents wouldn’t allow her to date someone of African American descent because the Bible said not to mix races.”
MARRIAGE
“How marriage works. Many misunderstand specific scripture to put the wife in a subservient role to her husband (Ephesians 5:21). Still, in reality, if you read a few verses more, you find that both may have different roles but are never owed anything, are equals, and both work for each other and the marriage just the same.”
