- "The Superbook Show" is coming to you
live, live, live, live. (echoey voice)
- We are not live.
We can't misrepresent ourselves.
- People do it all the time, Lawrence.
- Well, they shouldn't,
especially not withsomething as important as
the Bible (said in echoey voice)
Bible, Bible, Bible, (echoey voice)
Bible, Bible, Bible. (echoey voice)
(upbeat music)(whooshing)
(whooshing)
(whooshing)- Who's misrepresenting
the Bible?- A lot of people do it.
And most of them don't evenrealize they're doing it.
- Give me an example.- Hm, ever heard the saying,
"Cleanliness is next to godliness"?
- Yeah, my parents tell me that every time
I forget to do my chores.
- Yeah, it's not in the Bible.- (gasps) Mom,
Dad, why?- And that's not the only one.
- (huffs loudly) What else?- Ever heard the saying,
"God don't like ugly?"
- I definitely said thatone last week. (laughs)
- God is never recorded as saying,
"I liketh not the
"ugly."- (laughs) Okay.
So you know that saying, "Moneyis the root of all evil"?
That's in the Bible.
It's in there.- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm,
no it's not.
It's actually a misquotefrom the actual Scripture
which says, "For thelove of money is the root
"of all kinds of evil."- Oh.
So money isn't bad?- Nope, just the love of
money.
- Okay, so this misquote thing
is actually pretty interesting. (laughs)
I have a question.- Ask away.
- So you know that saying,"God will not put more on you
"than what you can bear"?- Yes.
- Is that true, because I feel like
a lotta stuff has happened to me
that was way too much for me to handle.
What's the real Scripture there?
- Well, the actual Scriptureis in 1 Corinthians,
and this is an example of a Scripture
being taken out of context.
- Oh, well what do you mean?
- The actual Scripturetalks about temptations,
not hardships in your life.- Hm.
- The part people oftentake out of context is
"God is faithful and willnot allow the temptation
"to be more than you can stand."
- Oh,
okay, I see.
So, it's saying, "When you're tempted,
"God will show you a way to escape?"
- Exactly.- Uh-huh.
- Serious times will come into your life.
That's why we go toGod in the first place.
Life's too much on our own.
- Amen.
All right, well,
do you have any honorable mentions
for things that aren't in the Bible?
- Hm, oh, how 'bout this one?
"God helps those who help themselves"?
- (laughs) Even I knew thatone wasn't in the Bible.
- Then why'd you ask me, then?
- Don't be rude, Lawrence.
Just like the Good Book says,
"If you don't have anything nice to say,
"don't say it at all."
- Wait a minute, that's not in the Bible.
- His Word is forever alive.
