Pretribulation rapture.

"Heaven helps those who help themselves"

The Trinity is probably the biggest, but there are others:

1. The cancellation of the old Law.
2. The belief that only faith is necessary to go to heaven.

Countless fake christian babalawo (a.k.a. MOGs) shenanigans would realistically also be on this list.

OkCornel:
Pretribulation rapture.

The word rapture is not in the Bible just as the word 'grandfather' is not in the authorised version.

Rapture is not in the bible or any kind of such idea.
People misinterprete resurrection that was explained figuratively in 1 Thessalonians 4 for rapture.

They use to say "Owo ni keke ihinrere" this is not in the Bible

Read slowly again. PRETRIBULATION rapture.

You only focused on the rapture part.

Even the Bible was not mentioned in the Bible as the Bible!

AntiChristian:

Is the word 'grandfather' mentioned in the Bible?

Actual evidence.

AntiChristian:

It does. Bible literally means Book.
And besides “bible” is an English word, bible was not originally written in English.

LordReed:
Actual evidence.

What is actual evidence, and is there actual evidence in any book?

“ Bible talk say do me i do you God no vex”

Maynnmann:

Where is the Bible mentioned as the Bible then?

Bible literally means BOOK!
And besides “bible” is an English word, the jewish and Christian book was not originally written in English.
There are many verses where “book, scriptures, writings” are mentioned

The available body of facts indicating whether a something is true.

Books can contain evidence in the form of stated facts.

Fact is relative these days. My fact can be different from your fact and vice versa. Not forgetting the world of difference between spiritual and physical things.

“ Bible talk say do me i do you God no vex”

Another one is : "first to do e no dey pain "
this claim supports retaliation and revenge.

So who named the Bible "Bible"? Why is it not called "Book"?

Because it’s a book. What does a book contain? You don’t know what “book” means?
Quran literally means to read or recite.

Quran literally means to read or recite.

The name Qur'an was mentioned in the Qur'an and it also fits the meaning!

That (this) is indeed an honourable recital (the Noble Qur’an).
Qur'an 56:77

Why chose Bible instead of just "Book/Books"?

Who chose it?

Quran literally means to read or recite. Even the verse you quoted said it. The word “quran” existed before Mohammed was born!

Bible literally means Book. Don’t you know what “books” mean? What language was the Christian book written in?

Facts are not relative, a fact doesn't change because you or I are viewing it.

Can you define what a spiritual thing is? And are there are any facts indicating its existence?

The fact that this is six doesn't mean there's nobody somewhere willing to argue that it is actually nine.
Sin, being born again, spiritual death, sanctification, justification are spiritual things.
To you, facts are only limited to the physical, a huge world of difference between us.

Being willing to argue a fact doesn't make it relative. Something is relative when it actually changes when people in different circumstances view it.

I recognise these are concepts which are generally intangible things so are you saying all intangible things or all concepts are spiritual things?

Exactly, you are always willing to argue spiritual facts. That's why i said they are relative. Don't you know that we're both in totally different circumstances?
Your second paragraph is a presumed fallacy. The Bible is a spiritual book that largely deals with spiritual facts. But you want it proven in the laboratory like a chemistry textbook. It can't werk.

LoLz! I don't know what a spiritual fact is, which is why I asked you the questions. You didn't even define what a spiritual thing is, only giving what you consider examples, requiring further questions which again you don't address.

Can you name the fallacy I presumed?

Can you translate this sentence to layman’s language please?

The sentence is not for laymen, you MUST be born again.

What does it mean to be “born again”?

Everybody talks about John 3:16 but the gist of the chapter lays in the first 15 verses.

Nicodemus asked Jesus what it means to be born again and Jesus proceeded to, putting it mildly, chat absolute nonsense and never answered the question.
