There are many misconceptions in the Bible but
let’s take a look at just these 12 misconceptions
and see what the Bible really says about it.
1. ADAM'S APPLE
For most Christians who probably do not read the
Bible, what the serpent gave to Adam in the garden
of Eden was an apple or so many have believed all
this while, but if you read the Bible, it never stated
the kind of fruit the serpent gave to Adam. It just
says fruit, as to what type of fruit, the Bible never
mentioned it.
2. THE CREATION OF A WOMAN
Ask any layman on the street about the creation
of a woman and they will quickly tell you, man
was created before woman, the reason why the
man is the head of the house, but the fact is, the
Bible never said so. In fact, both man and woman
were created on the same day but the Bible goes
on further to describe how God did it by removing
the rib of a man to create a woman. One verse
talks about how He created them both man and
woman and the other verse talks about how he did
it, which is the process he had to go through to
create a woman.
3. CONTRACEPTIVES
So for many years, some sections of Christians
believe using contraceptives is a sin because in
the Bible God punished someone for spilling their
sperms. Well, this is something that has controlled
many Christians for years but the fact is, God did
not punish this man for spilling his sperm, he
punished him because of the intention behind the
spilling. This happened to Onan because he felt
sleeping with his brother’s wife means the children
will not be his, hence spilling his sperms.This can
be found in Genesis Chapter 38:8-10.
4. 10 COMMANDMENTS
So basically, almost every Christians believe there
are 10 commandments but the truth is, there are
no 10 commandments in the Bible and Moses did
not go to mountain Sinai for just 10
commandments, he went up there for
commandments. If you read the commandments
that Moses brought to the people of Israel, you
could get up to 13 commandments and more but
some churches decided to combine some to make
it up to 10.
5. THE THREE WISE MEN
Sorry to bust your bubble if you believed this fairy
tale all your life but the truth is, 3 wise men did
not visit Jesus at birth, the Bible never said that.
The Bible said wise men but as to the number of
wise men, it never stated. This misconception
probably came about because of the 3 gifts they
presented to the baby Jesus.
6. MARY MAGDALENE WAS NOT A PROSTITUTE
Millions of Christians actually believe the
story that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. That’s
rather unfortunate and it wouldn’t have happened if
many read the Bible and challenged what some
Pastors say. It will surprise you to know that, there
is nowhere in the Bible where it stated that Mary
Magdalene was a prostitute. If you don’t believe
us, you can do your checks in the Bible.
7. A WHALE SWALLOWED JONAH
So for many Christians around the world, God commanded a whale to
swallow Jonah…wrong!!! The Bible never said a
whale swallowed Jonah and for the record whales
cannot swallow humans because they have a small
throat. What the Bible said is that God commanded
a big fish to swallow Jonah and again for the
record, a whale is not a fish, it is a mammal.
8. DRINKING ALCOHOL IS A SIN
Many Christians have preached countless times
about how drinking alcohol is a sin but nowhere in
the Bible did it state that drinking alcohol is a sin.
It rather states that drunkenness is a sin and so is
gluttony, meaning over-eating. So until you are fully
drunk or over-eat more than you can consume, you
are not committing any sin, according to the Bible.
9. NUMBER OF TREES
Ask any staunch Christian the number of trees in
the middle of the garden of Eden that God
prevented Adam and Eve from touching and
everybody will be quick to tell you it is ONE! but
the fact is, there were two trees, The tree of life
and the tree of Knowledge and of Good and Evil,
they touched one, the tree of Good and Evil.

10. CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO
GODLINESS
Most Christians actually think this quote can be
found in the Bible but the fact is, it is just an
idiom.
11. WHY ADAM AND EVE WERE SENT
OUT OF THE GARDEN
Ask any Christian why Adam and Eve were sent out
of the Garden of Eden and they will tell you, it’s
because they ate the forbidden fruit. But the truth
is no, they were not sent out of the Garden
because they ate the forbidden fruit, not at all, the
punishment for eating the forbidden fruit had
already been set and that was death and being
sacked was not part of it. God had to sack them
because His words had to be fulfilled, there was
still one tree left, “The Tree Of Life” and if he
leaves them there, they can access that too
because now they have knowledge, and know good
and evil and it was clearly stated in the
Bible. Genesis 3:22-24.
12. WHY WOMEN BECAME SECOND IN COMMAND
So most Christians actually think women were
made second in command because God created a
man first before creating a woman and because
they came out of a man’s rib, but the fact is, being
second in command was actually a punishment
from God for the woman leading the man to eat
the fruit.
Here is what was stated in Genesis Chapter
3:16, “I will make your pains in childbearing very
severe; with painful labour, you will give birth to
children. Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.

Quite Amusinq!!..#MustMakeFP..lalasticlala oya do your job sharpali!!

Op,I don't agree with you on number 2 why? The book of genesis clearly states that Adam was created before Eve who was just a helper to him. Remember God said that it is not Good for the man to be alone so i will create a helper,so that was how Eve was created. The bible did not state the day or time but your assertion was that Eve was created immediately. Go to a good bible school and learn the truth. Thanks.

I stopped @ No2 and even the jehovah witness cannot convince me to read again.

I stopped reading at number two because its very obvious that you know nothing about the bible.
