    I think such offenders should be reported to the Department of Reduncancy Department.

    Nor should you. But that is a good one for my intent on this program. It makes you stop and think about it. Prayer meetings are certainly fine. But Of course the Bible doesn't command us to do one on Wednesday night, even though that is fine if your Church wants to do that.

    Many others that have been posted are for very clear Biblical principles but the words themselves never appear.

    So again, this is to look at both Biblical and un-biblical terms in common use.

    Shucks. I was sure that prayer meeting before Pentacost was on a Wednesday evening! :tear:

    Seriously, very interesting thread, Dale. :thumbs:

    From my profession, here are a couple that are not in the Bible: missions and missiology. For that matter, there are a lot of "ologies" that are not in the Bible: theology, psychology (as in "Christian psychology"), etc.

    Those are good about the "ologies"
    My hope for this thread is not to start debate here but if we are made aware of the fact that terms are extra Biblical, we will then be able to reconsider and double sheck to make sure it is a Biblical concept.

    I would prefer that if some one wants to start a discussion about one of the terms, it would be great to start a new post for any term or phrase in question.

    Alot of people think that but I do not believe it is true.
    A much more likely origin is when the Ana-Baptists rbaptized adults rather than Children and some time rebaptizing those who had come from inftant baptizing denominations.

    I have compiled all the results so far. I apologize if I missed one.

    If you would like to discuss any of the particular terms or phrases, please open a new post.
    And if you think of more, be sure to post them here :)

    The word "Bible" isn't in the Bible.

    No, I did not miss the point. I do believe there are a few posts that assume that since the word they have posted is not in the bible it does not represent a biblical truth. At least thats what I saw.

    Actually, "Bible" comes from the Greek word biblos, meaning simply "book," which is often used in the NT about the Bible or a book of the Bible. :type:

    I got this cracked rock looking thing for a house warming present with what the person giving it to me thought was a Bible verse carved in it. My wife asked me if I knew what verse it was and scratching my head in front of the person that gave it (my mother-in-law!!!) I said, "hmm, doesn't ring a bell". It says:

    Raise the stone and thov shalt find me: Cleave the Word and there am I

    I couldn't find anything even close, not to mention right off the bat thinking, look onder a stone??? :laugh: Anyway it sets on our china cabinet! :tear:

    It is a good thing that some things aren't common :)


    I am sure there are a lot more things that could go into this list but I am about out of ideas.
    Let me know if anyone thinks of anything

    Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

    I always thought that we need to repent and call on him, and then he accepts us!

    I think that this is commonly believed to come from the Gospel of Thomas, which is a noncanonical book...

    Yes, this is from the Gospel of Thomas, as someone else pointed out. But not only is it a non-canonical book, it is a gnostic Gospel now being promoted by some sholars (as the "Fifth Gospel") and in The Da Vinci Code.

    Interestingly, this quote was also in the movie "Stigmata."

    Personally, I would not want to display this anywhere in my home as the Gospel of Thomas is heretical and anti-Christ. :mad:

    I remember "Cleanliness is next to Godliness "used as a prompt to wash hands and face to reluctant ones, when I was young. When I started reading the Bible for myself, I realised that the verses being used wrongly here were probably refering to Matthew 15 . So that part of the Bible has had it`s whole message inverted in the use of that phrase because it refered to physical washing , and not spiritual cleansing.

    Psalm 22:1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.>> My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
    2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
    3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

    I think this is where the phrase comes from.

    Oh great! That going to go over well with the wife and mother-in law!

    BTW, what are you guys doing reading the Gospel of Thomas??? Just kidding, I know you are battling against that gnostic stuff.
