The Bible is known to be one of the most important books that people tend to live by. Its contents teach and inspire people as well as help them to change for the better. Despite it being widely used, studied, and referenced, very often its contents encourage people to discuss various interpretations of matters that are being written about in this collection of religious texts. Having this in mind, Reddit user @LoneShark81 asked people online to share what are the things that people pretend to be in the Bible when, in fact, these things are not there. This question gave a green light to those who have noticed some discrepancies between what is written in the Bible and how people understand these matters. Some of the things that were mentioned by users online include speculations about what Jesus or angels looked like, explanations on how hell really works, and what well-known sayings are not actually taken from the Bible.

Do you know any things that people pretend to be in the Book of Books when in reality it isn’t the truth? Which one of these matters shared by others online do you agree with? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

Dude looks like how most black haired Middle Easterns would look like today. He was a Jew from south Israel but every European and American Christian seems to think he looks like a hippie from a middle-class suburb in the 90s.

Also, he often said to keep your self clean and tidy. Since Palestine was under the Romans, it would have most likely been fashionable to be clean shaven and have short hair - so even the image of a long haired bearded man is probably wrong.

That Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. A pope conflated her with Mary of Bethany and an unnamed "sinful woman," because he didn't like the fact that a woman was important to Jesus and wanted to discredit her.

gentlybeepingheart responded:
Mary Magdalene was, according to the Bible, a wealthy woman who chose to support Jesus from her own resources out of gratitude for him driving demons from her. This was problematic to that Pope because it didn't quite fit what women were supposed to be like.

Mary, mother of Jesus, was important because she had been chosen specifically by God to bear Jesus and that was her main role. Mary of Bethany was the one who anointed Jesus' feet with perfume and her hair because of him saving her brother. Mary Magdalene chose to follow and support Jesus of her own free will. Mary Magdalene was successful and was not acting in response to the actions/status of a male guardian. This independence was not what the Pope and that society wanted from women, so they decided she was a prostitute. She followed Jesus instead of getting married and bearing children because nobody would marry a prostitute, not because of her own beliefs.

Doing good deeds should be in secret, as getting praise from others for them defeats the purpose. Celebrating God can be done in public, but it is often more powerful to worship with one or two people in private than publicly claiming you know the truth. In other words you can have more meaningful impact sharing the word of God through the way you treat others and live your life than being someone who constantly tells people they should be doing x,y,z because that is what God wants. (I don't know if that last part makes sense)

Also! Lucifer is not the name of the Devil, It is a translation of the Hebrew word heh·lelʹ, literal meaning is “shining one.” Heh·lelʹ is not a name or a title but, a term describing the boastful position taken by Babylon’s dynasty of kings of the line of Nebuchadnezzar.

The seven deadly sins

Shadrach451 replied:
However, listed in Proverbs 6:16-19 are "Seven Things God Hates" and people should maybe pay some attention to those. These are almost definitely the source of what people later construed into The Seven Deadly Sins.

I should point out that Proverbs is not a book of the law, per say. So, it's not the same as calling these things "sins". But six things "The Lord Hates" and Seven he Detests should not be taken lightly.

Proverbs 6:16
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

I feel like these are particularly meaningful in today's world, and Christians especially should be paying attention. There is a strong emphasis on that last item. It's highlighted in the wording. Stirring up conflict in the community is directly in opposition to the nature of God, and that sort of division is deeply embedded in our American culture right now. God hates division.

Someone Online Asked, ‘What Do People Pretend Is In The Bible But Is Absolutely Not In The Bible?’ And 25 People Delivered So many Christian and Non-Christian alike get “goodness” and “worthiness” wrong. People somehow got to thinking that being Christian makes you good and that believing Jesus makes you somehow less fallible or more worthy in some regard. The entire Christian belief is that humans and humanity is so completely corrupted and beyond redemption by themselves that they required Jesus to come to atone for their sins. That doesn’t mean that they’re inherently better once they believe in Jesus nor does it believe they have increased worth amongst humans as a result. Christians should be the ones who recognize that they’re the beyond redemption and need Jesus and should NOT be parading their beliefs as if they’re better than someone who doesn’t believe the same thing. This is entirely contradictory to the entire purpose of Jesus in the Christian lore. Even still, Christians use their beliefs as a prop to hate on Abortion Clinics or for some to even go on “mission trips” to people less fortunate with a seriously effed up attitude that “I’m better than them and they need my service”. I see it all the time. It’s their moment to be better than someone and it sickens me to see people pretend to be better in the name of Christianity.

Dude. Thank you. I have been talking about this for yrs . Mostly bcuz I grew up kinda poor n I went to a very good catholic school (my grandma left the Catholic school tuition $ in a trust for us when she died bcuz she was very religious n demanded we learn the ways of the lord) so I had to go to school with all the rich kids. N don't get me wrong I got a very good education but I was treated like a charity case. Ppl would bring me their old clothes, announce it to the class like they were the nicest ppl for doing so, PARENTS DID THIS S**T TOO! N all the other parents/students would be like "omg Karen, you're such a good Catholic.. god is going to reward u for being so compassionate." the biggest problem was that WE WERENT THAT POOR nor did my family EVER ask for a damn thing from ppl. Nor did we announce we weren't wealthy. We just lived in a small house so everyone assumed we needed to be their charity show Pony. It was so disgusting n so embarrassing. Also....

The word hell in Hebrew didn’t exist, Sheol translates best as grave. It was a place for the dead. “ the dead know nothing at all… all memory of them is forgotten” Ecc 9:5. In the Greek scriptures the term ‘fiery Gehenna’ is used. Gehenna was a literal place outside the gates of Jerusalem where refuse was burned, as well as the carcasses of animals that had been used in sacrifice or ones that were diseased etc. Everyone was familiar with it. On occasion, criminals were given the severest punishment by having their bodies burned there too, AFTER their death. This was severe as Jews carried a lot of significance with burials. It represented they were destroyed, eternally, and likened to refuse. Whenever the Greek scriptures refer to someone going to fiery Gehenna, it represented this shameful cremation after death. It never had any meaning whatsoever to torture, being burned alive, or their soul being held in an afterlife.

In Mormonism (how I grew up) they have something called the Word of Wisdom, originating from a revelation from god through Joseph Smith (perverted dickhead). It actually states that meat should only be eaten in times of winter or famine, and it pleases god if you eat none at all. This is recorded in The Doctrine & Covenants, not the Bible, and it was written in the early 1800s not B.C.E., but it's interesting to read. Most Mormons are gun-toting trumpet worshipers in my experience, and they eat meat in excess which directly goes against their doctrine.

Actually the vegan does have biblical support. Before the humans were kicked out of Eden, they were vegan, and so were all of the animals. Only after the people ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad did God start killing animals to make clothing for the people and that was when the humans were given license to start killing animals for food.

If I wasn't a Christian, I might be a vegetarian for moral reasons. But the God directly says to Adam and Eve that they have dominion over the animals, essentially that they can do what they wish with them (humans are made in god's image, animals are not).

The biblical angel is some circling Sauron with many eyes, rings and wings.

Someone Online Asked, ‘What Do People Pretend Is In The Bible But Is Absolutely Not In The Bible?’ And 25 People Delivered Pythia007 said:
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".

I would be willing to bet that Jesus never ever said the words 'suffer' or 'children'. Pretty sure he spoke Aramaic.
