And not only a street, but the city
Rev 21:17 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.

I am going to start off with a little worksheet that I am going to draw up with what will probably seem like simple questions. The things on the worksheet are things that we have all taken for granted as true because of what's been passed down and yet these things are actually not even in the Bible.

A few examples...

Who all was there when Jesus was born? People will often list the wise men... but they actually came a few years later.

How many wise men were there? People will often say three... we don't know. The Bible never says.

My apologies that both examples revolve around the birth of Christ... it's just early and that's the only two I could think of.

But that is the reason for this thread as well...

Can you come up with some other assumptions that people tend to run with that actually aren't in the Bible? It would be a great help in making up my worksheet.

There are also some in the Worlds most butchered scriptures thread:

I heard this growing up in some of the most strict UPC churches of the south.
They derived it from these passages in the bible, thinking the bible is talking about masturbation:


Genesis 38:7-10:

7And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
8And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

9And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

10And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

No one has heard of this???
