Christianity: What About The Other
Stuff?
This post is an accumulation of various things that were found
researching other posts.
Many of the ideas of Christianity are heard frequently. It
seemed interesting to look at aspects
of Christianity that are not as common, or the "other
stuff."
The author found these things interesting and you might,
also.
Random Concepts, Christianity
1. The phrase "God helps those who help themselves" is not
found
directly in the Bible.
The idea is implicit but the exact phrase is not found in the
Bible. If you make bad choices in
the life due to free will there are consequences. The phrase
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is
also not found directly in the Bible.
2. Jesus death saves you from evil, but in the next world.
People say Jesus died to overcome things such as sickness and
death. This is true, but does
not necessarily apply to this world. In this world there is
sickness and death.
3. "God does not give you more than you can bear" is found in
the
Bible.
This depends how it is interpreted. Some think the verse only
applies to temptation (not the
situation). The verse is:
God is faithful; He will not suffer you to be tempted beyond
that which ye are able to bear,
but with the temptation will also make a way to escape, that ye
may be able to bear it.
- 1 Corinthians 1:13
4. The word "Christ" translated does not been a divine
being.
The Greek word Christos means "Anointed, chosen." Many ancient
people, such as Priests,
had the title "Christos" after being anointed with oil.

Similarly, Jesus defeated Satan by the Cross and his
Resurrection. The war against evil is not
technically "over" until the Second Coming Of Jesus. However,
that is only a matter of time.
Do you agree with these statements?
