[QUOTE="PilgrimChris, post: 58895, member: 10096"] An interesting area this Rebekah. Actually the joke is on those who do not know scripture rather than an inside joke by Protestants. George Barna reports that 8 out of 10 Americans believe the statement "God helps those who help themselves" is in the Bible [Lutzer p173] and as we know America is an overwhelmingly Protestant country. Its routes can be traced to the writings of Aesop who said "the gods help them that help themselves". Euripides, a greek philosopher, said also "Try first thyself, and after, call on God". George Herbert in the 17th century wrote "Help thyself and God will help thee". We receive our present version from Benjamin Franklin who wrote "God helps those who help themselves". [Poor Richards Almanac 1757] though even this version itself originated in Algerman Sydney in 1698 in an article titled Discourses Concerning Goverment. Franklin himself was a deist and so believed that God did not play an cavito role in mens lives. In his point of they if man was not able to help himself, then man was without hope. Most importantly not only is this 'verse' not found in the Bible, it is unbiblical in its meaning. It is exactly the opposite of the message of scripture. (see Jer 17:5, Prov 28:26, Isiah 25:4 and Romans 5:6 for examples) The use of the name Hezikia to perpetuate this lie is even more intriguing when you know that Hezikiah was a devout and God favoured king of Judah in scripture. (see Isaiah 36- 39 inc) God bless us all. Chris [/QUOTE]
