9 Unbiblical Statements That Bible-Loving Christians Believe

The sermon this morning in PBC was by Chris Abner on Acts 4, titled "No Other Name".

As an introduction he shared with us these 9 Unbiblical Statements That Bible-Loving Christians Believe, with the last three below relating to his sermon.

He said he got from a blog, which I believe could be from here.

These NEVER came from the bible; and they are accompanied by my own short comments below.(Check out the blog article if you need to know more.)

1. God helps those who help themselves
In reality, God helps those who are so weak that they can't help themselves.

2. God wants me to be happy
Doesn't this sounds like a license to a hedonistic life?

3. Cleanliness is next to Godliness
Cleanliness is good but not next to godliness and certainly not from Scripture.

4. When you die, God gains another angel
Like the blogger said, humans are humans, angels are angels.

5. God won’t give you more than you can handle
If you can handle life, you won't need God anymore now, would you? It's a reality we cannot handle all of life ourselves. That is why we need God.

6. Bad things happen to good people
No one is good, not one.

7. We are all God's children
We are all God's creation but only those who believe in him are his children.

8. We all worship the same God
If you check out every god of every religion, you will see that they are not the same.

9. We’re all going to the same place when we die
And if you check them out, every religion leads you to very different destinations.
