3 Biblical Facts That (almost)everyone Gets Wrong: PART II by 0ubenji(m): 10:58am On Aug 05, 2016 |
In sequel to an earlier thread of mine www.nairaland.com/3268719/3-biblical-facts-almost-everyone#48206598 -------------------- THERE WERE NO "THREE" WISE MEN There weren’t three and they didn’t visit Jesus in a manger. The Bible never mentioned the number of wise men (but does state the number of gifts as three, which is probably where this misconception stems from). Additionally, Herod demanded the death of all boys under two, making it probable that Christ had been born up to two years prior. Also, the wise men visited Jesus when he lived in a house(not a manger) according to the Biblical account in Matthew 2:11. ------------------------- DELILAH NEVER CUT SAMSON'S HAIR I can imagine some intense disagreement to this within some us at this moment. Samson's hair was indeed cut, but strangely, we've always imagined it to be delilah. Nah! Samson and Delilah is a famous story from the Old Testament which ends rather badly, as Samson’s long hair is cut short to destroy his strength. The common misconception is that Delilah was the one to give him the chop. But in fact, it was Delilah’s servant who did it. Judges 16 vs 19...#CaseClosed -------------------- HEAVEN HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES A more common version: “God helps those who help themselves” – a wise and good quote that (almost)everyone presumed is from the Bible. But, in fact, it isn’t. It was a man, not even any of the apostles, and not even a god who coined the well known (and overused) proverb. It was Benjamin Franklin in his Poor Richard’s almanac. He was, at one time, the President of the United States of America(not actually, but passively), with his image on the U.S dollar bill. ------------------------- P.S: Opposing views are welcomed. Atleast open your bible and read thoroughly(and understand in context) before coming forward with a debate. |
