That Satan is in any way in charge of torture in hell.

Kind of a reverse of the question, but a lot of people pretend that “taking the Lord’s name in vain” isn’t about using other people’s faith against them in order to acquire ridiculous wealth, privilege, and power. God most certainly does not approve of people like Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland and any of the other mega millionaire preachers but tons of Christians ignore it because it’s “spreading Christianity”.

The levels of hell. Dante wrote about his journey through hell. The levels are not biblical.

God helps those who help themselves, that actually comes from the Greek myths, Aesop’s fable “Hercules and the Waggoner.” where a guy was having trouble with a muddy road and was praying Hercules for help, Hercules appeared and told him how to help himself, the moral being thee gods help those who help themselves.

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be”

I have had a minister ‘quote’ that to me as a Bible quote.

It’s from Hamlet.

Edit: Lots of comments about the bible having stuff like this. Yes I know but a quote is a quote and from a christian professional you would at least expect an accurate quote from the bible but this is as wrong as quoting Hamlet and saying “Alas Poor Yorik, I knew him well”

That Noah took two of each animal into the Ark.

He took 14: 7 male and 7 female of clean creatures and only a pair of unclean animals.

Gen 7:2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Give that he sacrificed one of each of the clean animals that would be quite a facepalm if he only had a pair.

Gen 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

That angels are humans with wings. They’re not. As far as I remember there are some depictions of them in the Revelation but not in much detail (I’m pretty sure that the four animals next to the throne aren’t angels, but I may be wrong on that).

That Jesus said anything about children suffering. “Suffer the children to come unto me” means to allow them.

mcoombes314 responded:
Yeah, the word “suffer” is a weird one where the meaning has changed so much that it doesn’t make sense in modern English. Same goes with “thou shalt not suffer a witch to live”.
