THE MISS-QUOTED SCRIPTURE GAME

There are many scriptures out there that have been miss-quoted through out time, name how you have heard a verse quoted along give the actual quote.....I will start.


"Spare the rod spoil the child" ( miss-quoted version )


Proverbs 13:24 " He who spares his rod hates his child, but he who loves him disciplines him diligently. " ( correct version )

"Money is the root of all evil." (misquoted version)

Timothy 6:10 "For the love of money is the root of all evil..."

"Jesus died for you"

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Call you and raise you.

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils." 1 Tim. 6:10 ESV

In other words, it is just ONE of many kinds of roots of evil.

"If you ever have a doubt as to what a Scripture means, check with me.........."

(uh, hmmm, can't remember Chapter and verse right now, but I'm sure it's there........)

Thats in the ESV, not in the KJV. So, technically you didn't raise me... lol

How about not even found in Scripture, "God helps those who help themselves."

Not in the bible. Cleanliness is next to godliness.
But cleanliness is good though, im sure heaven and the throne room is pretty clean lol

"God don't like ugly" is no where found in the bible.

Good post's from all thus far. Let's keep it rolling if anybody else has more.

It's not even true.

Psalm 139:21
Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

The ancient proverb “cleanliness is next to godliness “is believed to have come from ancient Hebrew writings. However, its first appearance in English, though in slightly altered form, seems to be in the writings of Francis Bacon entitled “Advancement of Learning” where he wrote; 'Cleanness of body was ever deemed to proceed from a due reverence to God'.

(found on the internet)

It’s from St. Augustine. His Letter 211 (c. 424) contains the phrase Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum, which translates roughly to "With love for mankind and hatred of sins." The phrase has become more famous as "love the sinner but hate the sin" or "hate the sin and not the sinner" (the latter form appearing in Mohandas Gandhi’s 1929 autobiography).

[TD="colspan: 2"] "God helps those who help themselves" is probably the most often quoted phrase that is not found in the Bible. This is actually a quote from Ben Franklin and it appeared in Poor Richard’s Almanac in 1757. In fact the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless! Isaiah 25:4 declares, "For You have been a defense for the helpless, a defense for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat..." Romans 5:6 tells us, "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly."
