In the realm of biblical misconceptions, many agree that the idea of Satan reigning over the fiery depths of hell is a common misbelief. The Bible does describe Satan as a tempter and adversary, but it doesn't cast him as the warden of the underworld. It's almost as if Satan himself might find that rumor devilishly amusing. Do you believe that Satan is in charge of hell?

It's a reminder that sometimes we need to roll up our sleeves and take initiative rather than simply waiting for divine intervention. Did you believe that "God helps those who help themselves" was in the Bible?

Another popular phrase that is not actually found in the Bible is "This, too, shall pass." While it's a comforting sentiment, it's not a biblical verse. It's as if someone added a touch of philosophy to the biblical wisdom. Were you aware that "This, too, shall pass" isn't in the Bible at all?

Let's clarify a classic misconception about the story of Adam and Eve. The Bible does mention the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, but it never specifies that it was an apple. So, when you picture Eve taking a bite, it can be any fruit that your mind can come up with. Did you think that the forbidden fruit was an apple?
