It's in the Bible, It Must Be True

  • The Lord approves of and commands genocide (1 Samuel 15:1-3) and disapproves of freedom of religion (2 Kings 14:3-4, 2 Kings 18:3-4)
  • Poor people should be allowed to drink away their misery. (Proverbs 31:6-7)
  • Ancient Nazarites were white (Lamentations 4:7), but Jeremiah was black. (Jeremiah 8:21)
  • God doesn't answer the prayers of the prophet (Lamentations 3:8)
  • The Messiah came about a year and a half after the return of the Jews from Babylon, ca. 536 BC (Daniel 9:24), was killed just over a year later (Daniel 9:26), and the end of the world occurred either 3.5 years after that or 7 years, depending on whether the time periods from Daniel 12:9-12 are supposed to be additive.  (Note that these verses were apparently the basis for William Miller's prediction of the second coming to be 1844.)
  • No one goes to heaven except Christ. (John 3:13)
  • Men shouldn't touch women.  (1 Corinthians 7:1)
  • Women shouldn't speak in church; in fact, all gospel questions should be directed only to their husbands (sorry, single ladies) (1 Corinthians 14:34-35)
  • Christ was the second man on earth (1 Corinthians 15:47)
