Hi everyone, I just had to start this thread because of the way most people keep quoting that phrase.

I was shocked last sunday; a friend of mine invited to worship in his church (A Penticostal church) and could you believe that of all people, it was the so called pastor whom I believed should know the scriptures better that made us of that word.

Hear his words my bible tells me that heaven helps those who help themselves. Initially, I felt like challenging in the middle of the sermon so he can tell me what verse of the bible such statement is written. . .but because of the referrence I had for God, I remained mute.

Finally my dear people, whenever you make a quote from the bible, be sure that such quote is from the bible; don't just make a quote that suits you, then claim its from the bible. Such an act is sinful; and believe me, it can attract God's wrath upon the life any individual who make false quotes about his holy book.

@ of a truth my brother man "Re: Heaven Help Those Who Help Themselves" [b]is Not A Biblical Word[/b]

[size=16pt]the Biblical Word is 

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" John 14:6 [/size] 

Accept Jesus Now

if youcan help ur self why ask for heavens help
heven helps when you cant help urself if not, u'll take the glory.

It's true its not in the bible.

Ohh, why are christians this confused ?

I've never read it in the Bible that heaven helps those who help themselves. I think it just means that we cannot leave heaven to do all the work.

@may kelly honestly what has your quote got to do with the posters topic you have simply pulled a quote out of your hat and applied to a topic far from it.

you dont have the answers to all the questions in the bible stop mis-quoting, it makes you look deluded

Read James 2:14, then down to 26 so you will understand. Its just an interpretation of what was stated in James 2:14.

How do heaven help us? Through faith or by manner from heaven?

Faith Right? and such faith without work is NOTHING.. hope u get.
