Ten Common Sayings Which the World Borrowed from the Bible

Once upon a time, a young high school English Literature student surveyed the many commons phrases which passed into English from the WRITINGS of WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

He was shocked and SURPRISED at how many there were.

A few years later, a young college student studied the MANY common phrases which originated in God’s Word (King James Version of the Bible).

He was even more amazed at how many there were–actually, at how many MORE there were.

And so, here are a few of the MANY commons sayings the world has borrowed from the Bible.

1- A WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
–Matthew 7:15

2- THE POWERS THAT BE

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.”
–Romans 13:1

3- AT WIT’S END

“They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.”
–Psalm 107:27

4- EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY

“And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”
–Luke 12:19

5- BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

“My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. “
–Job 19:20

6- FALL BY THE WAYSIDE

“A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.”
–Luke 8:5

7- A LAND OF MILK AND HONEY

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
–Exodus 3:8

8- THE WRITING ON THE WALL

“They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. “
–Daniel 5:4-6

9- A FLY IN THE OINTMENT

“Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.”
–Ecclesiastes 10:1

10- THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

“Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”
–Matthew 15:14

There are TEN listed here.

There are many more–which means that–God willing–another article will be needed to include them all (or at least, MOST of them).

Odd that a book which the vast majority of the world does NOT believe would supply so many commonly-used phrases?

WAS the reader aware of the number of commonly-used phrases which started out as phrases in the Bible?

It is not YET too late: there is still a little time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

A Reminder: The Gospel is Simple

The Way of the World QUOTES

So many lazy authors, songwriters and media spinmeisters try to pass off their latest offering as nothing more than the happenstance of life.

OR, “the way of the world.”

For the reader, these little scribblings often mean that an insight–no matter how large or how small–has been offered into how the world REALLY works.

As opposed to how the world works, according to the stories which those who believe they control the world offer the great unwashed.

And so, we offer the reader 30 quotes about the ‘way of the world’ according to the world’s favorites.

These are divided into TWO separate groups: the first group contains 15 little insights into how the world REALLY functions; the second group contains 15 little pieces of worldly advice.

(A BONUS QUOTE is also included: for a grand total of 16 in EACH section.)

—–

“The way to make money is to buy when blood is running in the streets.”
—John D. Rockefeller

“You cannot spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt.”
—Daniel Hannan

“It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.”
—Joseph Stalin

“This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.”
—T. S. Eliot

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
—Arundhati Roy

“There is no public opinion. There is only published opinion.”
—Winston Churchill

“More history is made by secret handshakes than by battles, bills and proclamations.”
—John Barth

“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”
—Thomas Sowell

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt

“When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn’t work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.”
—Emo Philips

(How many nonbelievers have gambled their entire eternity on this one?)

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
—Alan Kay

“Capitalism is an organized system to guarantee that greed becomes the primary force of our economic system and allows the few at the top to get very wealthy and has the rest of us riding around thinking we can be that way, too – if we just work hard enough, sell enough Tupperware and Amway products, we can get a pink Cadillac.”
—Michael Moore

“Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.”
—Robert McAfee Brown

“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
—Vladimir Lenin

“The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.”
—Eric Hoffer

BONUS QUOTE

“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky

—

The second grouping of quotes is a section of worldly men and women who offer advice on how to succeed in this world.

Just because these people are firmly in this world does NOT mean that their advice is often correct: it isn’t.

Therefore, much of what follows are also little snippets of propaganda, offered to assist in misleading any who fall for it.

“Suicide is man’s way of telling God, ‘You can’t fire me – I quit.’”
—Bill Maher

(Only a committed nonbeliever would erroneously believe that God ‘fires’ man.)

“There’s a natural law of karma that vindictive people, who go out of their way to hurt others, will end up broke and alone.”
—Sylvester Stallone

“You have to believe in yourself, challenge yourself, and push yourself until the very end; that’s the only way you’ll succeed.”
—G-Dragon

“The way we experience the world around us is a direct reflection of the world within us.”
—Gabrielle Bernstein

“You’re only here for a short visit. Don’t hurry, don’t worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way.”
—Walter Hagen

“God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I’m proud of myself.”
—Caster Semenya

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
—Albert Camus

“You can look in the mirror and find a million things wrong with yourself. Or you can look in the mirror and think, ‘I feel good, I have my health, and I’m so blessed.’ That’s the way I choose to look at it.”
—Isla Fisher

“Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.”
—Brian Greene

“Coronavirus can happen to anyone, so, it’s really important to maintain good health overall. That way, when it hits you, you have an immune system that is strong enough to fight the virus.”
—Sara Khan

“Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer.”
—Henry Lawson

“The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that’s the way to bet.”
—Damon Runyon

“Hypocrisy is the ultimate power move. It is a way of demonstrating that one plays by a different set of rules from the ones adhered to by common people.”
—Michael Shellenberger

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

“I think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The dark side of one’s nature. Have fun with it and you know, is to accept everything about ourselves.”
—Anthony Hopkins

BONUS QUOTE

“If you’re healthy, if you don’t get sick much, if you don’t go to the doctor much or use your health insurance much, you are a genetic lottery winner. It has nothing to do with the way you live, nothing to do with doing the right things. It’s just sheer luck, and you are gonna pay for that.”
—Rush Limbaugh

Words Have Meaning

A phrase which is popular with a certain group of people these days goes something like this.

“Words have meaning.”

IN FACT, ex-Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said, “Words have meaning. And their meaning doesn’t change.”

Which is a useful thing to say for someone who is a Supreme Court Justice.

BUT, which does NOT make what has been said TRUE.

11 Words With Meanings That Have Changed Drastically Over Time

[The author of the linked piece would have readers believe that Number Seven on the list–“Naughty“–once meant something quite different than what the word means today. YET, God’s Word employs “naughty” in a manner which is CLEARLY understood like today’s word.

“A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.”
–Proverbs 6:12

Are there OTHER words on the list which also have bogus or dubious stories attached to them?]

A more USEFUL quote might be, “Words mean whatever we say they mean.”

And this quote has most likely been used by EVERY person who exercises ANY amount of power over his fellows, great or small.

This last phrase is ALSO useful for all of those who write the wonderfully entertaining stories which so many of deceived men believe.

And, it is suspected, it is to this last (largely unspoken) quote which the “Words have meaning” proponents are directing their arguments toward.

Which brings to mind another quote: this final one by American humorist, Mark Twain. It is certainly a appropriate quote for the deception-filled end times.

“What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.”
—Mark Twain

DOES the reader believe all of the marvelous stories he has been told his whole life?

WHAT does the reader believe?

Ten Quotes About Some Aspect of Spirituality

There appears to be a great deal of confusion over spirituality and those who are spiritual.

spiritual:

of, relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit

There are a great many who are “spiritual“ who differ greatly from others considered “spiritual“: witches, pagans, members of false religions, idol worshipers–true believers of Jesus Christ.

MORE: Being Spiritual or Religious is NOT the Same as Christianity

The following are a varied group: TV preachers, church leaders, evangelists, atheists, artists.

ALL have thoughts on something of a spiritual nature.

Which is not the same as having some thoughts of a Christian nature.

“Even if I accepted that Jesus – like almost every other prophet on record – was born of a virgin, I cannot think that this proves the divinity of his father or the truth of his teachings. The same would be true if I accepted that he had been resurrected.”
—Christopher Hitchens

“I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.”
—George Bernard Shaw

“I need a long and lingering death to make sure that I have time to have a deathbed conversion.”
—John Mellencamp

“I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

“Mere heathen morality, and not Jesus Christ, is preached in most of our churches.”
—George Whitefield

“I belong to a gospel choir. They know I am an atheist but they are very tolerant.”
—Brian Eno

“As they come forth, Lord, to sow, release upon them, Father, the power to get, to create, to receive wealth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Joseph Prince

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves?—Friedrich Nietzsche

“Millions of people die every day. Everyone’s got to go sometime. I’ve came by this particular tumor honestly. If you smoke, which I did for many years very heavily with occasional interruption, and if you use alcohol, you make yourself a candidate for it in your sixties.”
—Christopher Hitchens

“To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny.”
—Joseph Addison

DOES the reader consider themselves to be spiritual?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

The Clever Mr. Churchill

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you”
–Mark 13:3-5

Though most will remember Winston Churchill as the prime minister of Great Britain during World War II OR as simply a long-time English politician, the fact remains that Winston Churchill spent most of his adult life writing.

Books, magazine articles, speeches, newspaper columns and articles:Winston Churchill wrote them all.

In fact, it has been said that Winston Churchill wrote more than both William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens combined.

Churchill was a prolific writer, often under the pen name “Winston S. Churchill”, which he used to avoid confusion with the American novelist of the same name. His output included a novel, two biographies, three volumes of memoirs, and several histories. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 “for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values”. Two of his most famous works, published after his first premiership brought his international fame to new heights, were his six-volume memoirThe Second World War and A History of the English-Speaking Peoples; a four-volume history covering the period from Caesar’s invasions of Britain (55 BC) to the beginning of the First World War (1914). A number of volumes of Churchill’s speeches were also published. the first of which, Into Battle, was published in the United States under the title Blood, Sweat and Tears, and was included in Life Magazine‘s list of the 100 outstanding books of 1924–1944.

One area where Winston Churchill does not receive enough credit is in the “clever quote” category. Many of Churchill’s writings contain passages which have a double meaning: one meaning which is taken by others of Churchill’s workers of iniquity; one meaning which was taken a completely different way by the public at large.

Churchill said quite a number of things about the world and the way the world actually works which were very clever because Churchill clearly stated a truth which most ignored as the truth and took what was said as mostly “Just another example of Churchill being Churchill” or “Winston just being clever.”

A few of Churchill’s more accurate observations about the way modern life ACTUALLY works–as opposed to how most people believe life works–follow.

–“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”

This is demonstrated time-and-again every time a modern “stumbles over the truth” but then quiets the uneasy feelings he gets when he discovers such a truth by telling himself a lie (“It will be alright.” “That’s just how the world works now.“) to cover up that discovered truth.

–“There is no public opinion. There is only published opinion.”

A fact long known by most who scrutinize the machinations of the media.

–“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

And so he did.

–“If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.”

This is the one rule behind EVERY piece of propaganda ever written. It is demonstrated daily by that large propaganda machine we call the Corporate Media.

–“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

–“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind.”

–“A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

Churchill was so clever because he often revealed the way the world ACTUALLY works, KNOWING very few took him at his word because so many believed Churchill was merely “turning a phrase.”

In other words, Churchill was so clever because so many DISMISSED what he said by thinking Churchill was just trying to be clever.

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

Leonard Ravenhill: Ten Memorable Quotes

Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994) was a HIGHLY-QUOTABLE evangelist.

Leonard Ravenhill

Leonard Ravenhill was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging western evangelicalism (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts….His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide.

Ten distinctive Leonard Ravenhill quotes:

“Many pastors criticize me for taking the Gospel so seriously. But do they really think that on Judgment Day, Christ will chastise me, saying, ‘Leonard, you took Me too seriously’?”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“When there’s something in the Bible that churches don’t like, they call it ‘legalism.’”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“If Jesus preached the same message minister’s preach today, He would have never been crucified.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don’t even have the strength to turn off your TV?”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“Sodom, which had no Bible, no preachers, no tracts, no prayer meetings, no churches, perished. How then will America and England be spared from the wrath of the Almighty, think you? We have millions of Bibles, scores of thousands of churches, endless preachers—and yet what sin!”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“It has been well said that there are only three classes of people in the world today: those who are afraid, those who do not know enough to be afraid, and those who know their Bibles.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“The tragedy of this late hour is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

“It is far easier to cool down a fanatic than to warm up a corpse.”
—Leonard Ravenhill

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

This Life is Hell: Ten Quotes

One of the deceptions offered by this world is the one which claims that there is no hell for those judged wicked, evil or foolish by God.

Sometimes, these claims will offer “There is no hell. Hell is this life on earth.”

However, God’s Word is very clear: while this life will present a host of challenges–particularly for the wicked–this present life is nothing like hell, a place of eternal torment and judgment.

With all of this in mind, we offer ten quotes about this life being hell.

“The return from your work must be the satisfaction which that work brings you and the world’s need of that work. With this, life is heaven, or as near heaven as you can get. Without this — with work which you despise, which bores you, and which the world does not need — this life is hell.”
—W.E.B. DuBois

“I know this might not be much comfort when we’re still caught here in “hell” (and this life is hell in the sense we are here to learn some difficult lessons), but our friends and family members who have passed over are all happy where they are!”
—Sylvia Browne

“This is the premise of the Christian Bible. If the Book of Life includes your name, you’ll be in heaven. Otherwise, it’s off to hell. Hell is namelessness and eternal pain is defined as a perpetual suspension between a signifier and a referent. That’s why, as Christopher Marlowe, Mel Brooks and Jacques Derrida all conclude, this life is hell.”
—Susan Leigh Foster

“We are trapped in hell. Earth is actually hell.”
—Justin Roiland

“Hell is no fable, for this life IS hell.”
—Mephistopheles

“Mankind’s enjoyment of God’s ‘rest’ was over…to be banished from God’s presence and to be given over to one’s own sinful desires in this life is ‘hell on earth.”
—Jeff Wisdom

“Repeating what others have written and said my mind is gloomy. Until I open my soul and with my own words can have the glory of expression in endless variety, this life is hell.”
—M. Gopala Krishna Adiga

“Hell isn’t a place. This life is hell.”

“Skeptics who say this are trying to dismiss the reality of hell. They might like to think that life as we know it couldn’t get any worse, but the sufferings in this life will be heaven compared to the suffering in the next life—for those who die in their sins. This life is the closest thing to hell that Christians will ever know, and the closest thing to heaven that sinners will ever know.”
