The World's Most Butchered Scriptures?
 

Let's compile a list of the most frequently butchered scriptures.

I'll start...

"And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me."—John 12:32.

Why do Pentecostals think this means WE are to lift Him up by praising Him; shouting, dancing, screaming, running and the like?

It really meant that if He was CRUCIFIED He would draw all men.



Okay, your turn.

In James: "An open-minded man is unstable in all his ways."

I heard that quoted recently, but still can't find it.......



:D

Ok, I'll bite.

Deut 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

This means women can't wear pants, even women's pants.


:D

What did you expect me to say?????

:scoregood

Well, I think it should be there, if it isn't!

How about the cloud the "size" of a man's hand?

It's not in there.

And then there's the unknown verse that says holiness is what you are wearing on the outside.............

Oh, and Jonah wasn't swallowed up by a whale.

"Spare the rod, spoil the child"?

Nope, it's not there either.

1 Kings 18:44 The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.' "

Hey, you're right! "As small as" is so not the same as "the size of"! :blink

Jesus said Jonah was "in the belly of a whale."

Matthew 12:40
