"...a fool leans to the left..." Ecc 10:2.

Hey, you're Catholic! What are you doing with Bible?

[mnehring]

You learn something new every day. I never knew PTB came from the Bible.

[John 3_19-21]

Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west......”

Written 4000-5000 years ago and the only way this statement is true is if the writer knew the earth was round.

“What ails you?” Genesis 21:17
What goes around comes around. Or “Whatever a mans sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7

[circlecity]

In addition to popular phrases in the bible, I would like to hear of popular Bible phrases that ARE NOT actually in the Bible (or are always misstated). For example I can think of two:

God helps those who help themselves. (nowhere in the Bible)

"Money is the root of all evil". - The Bible actually says "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

Oh, those are fun!

Thanks, dear Salvation.

Job 34: 3 For the ear tests words, as the taste does food.

1 Corinthians: 32 "...Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."

and 33 Do not be led astray: "Bad company corrupts good morals."

1 Peter 4: 8 Above all, let your love for one another be intense, because love covers a multitude of sins. 4

Ecclesiastes 10:20

Don't bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath,
And don't abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home.
Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around.
Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.

Kind of like, "a little birdie told me".

[Grizzled Bear]

A beautiful woman who lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. Proverbs 11:22

As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Proverbs 26:11

...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Psalm 145:1

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

My favorite line from the bible:

What profits a man if he gaineth the world but loseth his soul?

[married21]

If these weren’t mentioned here are my quotes:

1. Spare the rod; spoil the child.

(BTW, I’ve read that the “rod” in question was a shepherd’s crook, so you don’t hit the child with it, you guide him back to the right path with it.)

2. The last shall be first.

3. Let there be light.

4. Render unto Caesar... (what is Caesar’s, but render unto God what is God’s ).

5. Bring me his head on a plate.

[credo 2]

But Jesus says of them in Matthew 23:24 that they “strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.”

[gitmo]

One of them was new to me: “A drop in the bucket”. And I spend more time in Isaiah than any other book in the Bible. Funny thing is I was wondering about the origin of that saying yesterday. That probably means I need to spend some time in Isaiah 40.

One I had forgotten: “By the skin of our teeth” from Job. I recognized the passage but had forgotten all about it.
