For many Christians, the bible is a Holy book and the final law on many things they do not understand about life. The same way the Muslims have the Quran.
However their are some bible verses which many commonly misunderstand, and this is usually because they have been taught the wrong thing about them.
Here are some examples:
1. Why were Adam and Eve sent out of Eden?
The fall of man
Many think Adam and Eve were expelled because they ate the forbidden fruit or had intercourse, but what the Bible says is actually different.
However, this is the real reason. Genesis 3:22-23: “And he said: Behold Adam is become as one of us, knowing good and evil: now, therefore, lest perhaps he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
“And the Lord God sent him out of the paradise of pleasure, to till the earth from which he was taken.”
2. Who cut Samson’s hair?
Blinding of Samson
Many think Delilah cut Samson’s hair, however while she found out his secret, someone else did the actually cutting of his hair.
Judges 16:9: “After putting him to sleep on her lap, she called for someone to shave off the seven braids of his hair, and so began to subdue him. And his strength left him.”

3. Three Wise men
3 wise men
Many people think three wise men visited Jesus in the manger. However this is wrong. The bible did not give
Matthew 2:1 says: ” When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Juda, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.”
Matthew 2:11 also says: “And entering into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling down they adored him; and opening their treasures, they offered him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

4. God helps those who help themselves
Benjamin Franklin
Some people credit this quote to the bible: “God helps those who help themselves.”
However, it is not from the bible, but actually a quote by Benjamin Franklin.
5. Money is the root of all evil
The love of money
Many people quote the Bible verse as: “Money is the root of all evil.”
However, what the Bible says at 1 Timothy 6:10 is: “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.”
