Some Common Misconceptions About The Bible by Nobody: 10:56am On Jun 05, 2016
THE NAME GOD IS A FAMILY NAME: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.” It is the plural "us" Why? Because, the word God in this passage, is derived from the word 'Elohiym ”
which is a word denoting plurality.
1 John 5:7 Also emphasises on the three witnesses above in heaven


ADAM AND EVE: Contrary to popular belief, Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden not because they ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, but in order to prevent them from eating from the tree of life
Here is the verse (Genesis 3:22-23 );

22-And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23-So the
LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.


JESUS HAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS : Many people believe that it was just Jesus in the custody of Joseph and Mary but the scripture points it out here in Mark 6:3

Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.


HELP: “God helps those who help themselves” – a wise and good quote that everyone thinks is from the Bible. But, in fact, it isn’t. It was a man, not a god who coined the well known (and overused) proverb. It was Benjamin Franklin in his Poor Richard’s almanac.

PICTURES OF JESUS: The Bible says that Christ had no form or comeliness
(beauty) that we would desire him. (Isaiah 53)
The pictures of Jesus generally portray an attractive Caucasian man with blue eyes, with long hair because part of the Nazarite vow was to abstain from cutting your
hair.

In fact Paul knew that it was customarily a shame for a man to have long hair (1 Cor 11:14) and knowing that Jesus was a carpenter, having long hair would have gotten in the way of His work.
The truth is no one exactly knows what he looks like, his first paintings which were passed down were repainted by artists who added their own envisionery.
