[b] It's not of he that willeth or runneth, but of the lord that showeth mercy. By strength shall no man prevail. "Heaven helps those who help themselves isn't written verbatim anywhere in the bible. Help is for the helpless, just as medicine is for the sick.
[/b]



It's true but this one you said is Grace
Cause anyone God shows mercy means the person has Sufficient Grace

But i want you to know that even if you can help yourself or not heaven can help you

None of the above was misinterpreted, it's just a matter of updates in English language while most churchgoers stick to the 15th century English KJV.


But as for misinterpretation the opening words of John's gospel account was erroneously mistranslated.

"In the beginning WAS the word and the word WAS with God and the word WAS God"

@ verse 18 of the same chapter we read:

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him"

So is the word GOD or someone beside GOD? smiley

The word was Jesus christ.

You're truly ignorant!

Jesus Christ is God because he's the word of God, the actualizer of the commands of God. He formed all things, including man, at the command of God the father. So, he's also God. This may sound confusing to you because you may think that's polytheistic!


Check this: if your boss gives you the authority to sack a junior staff and you choose anyone of them to be sacked, you'll be doing it with the authority vested in you, acting on behalf of your boss. That's what John 1v1 is saying.

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Some bible verses, like
Mark 12:17 "give to Caesar what belongs to Cesar"
Ephesians 5:22 "Wives submit thyself to your husband "
"Matthew 7:1 "judge not that you be not judged"
Some other verses are also misinterpreted.

The word is God!

John pictures that with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden.

Let me give you small Bible study on that.

Firstly, The first COUPLE lived alone in the Garden. The two are to be viewed as ONE
>>>Gen 2:24 - In the garden, two persons, the man and the woman, "became one flesh"
>>>Gen 5:1-2
"God created man" (singular)
"He made him" (singular)
"Named them man" (singular)
Yet it says:
"He created THEM male and female" (plural)
"He blessed THEM" (plural)
"and Named THEM" (plural)
"They were created" (plural)
NOTE: The name EVE wasn't given to the woman not until after the fall, so both Male and the female were collectively called MAN.

Secondly, Gen 1:26-27
"Let us make man" (singular)
"God created man" (singular)
"He created him" (singular)
In contrast the same text also says:
"....let them rule" (plural)
"Male and female he created THEM" (plural)

Lastly, Jesus refers to the first couple and after stating "they were one flesh" adds "they are no longer two"

In line of this, would it be wise to say: In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man and the woman was A MAN?

Intellectual mind knows this is a wrong rendition because it will put the woman as A MALE which will be confused as the FIRST MALE.

So the best way to understand that even though both the male and the female were both collectively called "MAN" "them" e.t.c is to render it as: In the garden was the woman, the woman was with the man and the woman was MAN

Here intellectual mind knows that the woman was addressed as MAN per her NATURE.

So John 1:1 shows two separate persons with one NATURE (God).

Do you understand?

my brother, you have really tried. but you cannot use human logic to explain the Almighty God, Yaweh. He is unfathomable.

Omo u dey give dem hot hot grin

The secret is that most trinitarians themselves don't know what they're worshiping {John 4:22} trinity is the initiative of Satan the devil and Satan make sure he exterminated all the Apostles before introducing trinity {Revelations 17:5-6} since it doesn't make any sense the concept must be enforced otherwise trinitarians can't preach and convince a single soul. That's why Jesus called trinity a harlot because the concept needs the support of politicians and military services to push it to places since those involved are arrogant and they don't know how to convince people. Revelations 17:1-2

So they're using weapons to intimidate people everywhere they go in the name of CRUSADES.
That's what the British brought to Africa not CHRISTIANITY because Christians have to PREACH (PLEAD) with their neighbours before you can convince them about God's Kingdom! Matt 10:11-13

You will notice how fierce trinitarians becomes each time they come across anyone that speak against their meaningless concept. Well it's not their fault that's exactly how the religion was forced on our people back then, trinitarians came with colonialism forcing their religion on people not preaching zealously from house to house! smiley

Guy the Bible said "the word with God" and that means there were TWO separate persons! John 17:3
So whether beside the father or in the bosom of the father none support the idea that the word is the father rather he is God's Son one of God's creation that's why the Bible referred to him as the first born of creation, nobody can be firstborn if not part of those been born! smiley
You are unbelievable...read the explanation I gave to Johnw47... Christ was separated from God twice...first for creation,second for salvation...

Do you know Moses is God? Exodus 7:1

Well both Moses and Jesus served as God under the command of the one who sent both of them. That's why God told the Israelites that He will send another prophet like Moses who served as both prophet and God {Deuteronomy 18:15-19} apostle Peter confirmed that Jesus of Nazareth is that prophet who came in the manner of Moses the prophet who WAS also God! Act 3:22

Firstly, if you can help yourself, you don't need God's help. Heaven helps those who are incapable of helping themselves. That's the essence of grace.
By strength shall no man prevail, and it's not of he that willeth or he that runneth, but of the Lord that showeth mercy.
Help is for the helpless just as medicine is for the sick.
Meanwhile that verse doesn't exist in the bible. The only closeness is "Faith without work is dead"

...............
''Chronicules'' is not an extant term. However, there are 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles as written items in the Holy Bible and nondeceptive writings.
But it was the English political
theorist Algernon Sidney who originated the now familiar
wording, "God helps those who
help themselves", apparently
the first exact rendering of the
phrase. Benjamin Franklin later
used it in his Poor Richard's Almanack (1736) and has been
widely quoted.

The verse 1 was talking about the word that proceed out of God ( which is Jesus) then he hasn't gotten a body.
