BIBLE FACTOID: What DOESN'T the Bible actually mention?

A few things that are talked about all the time in "Biblical discussions" but which are not actually in the Bible:
  • The Bible does not say Adam and Eve ate an apple. It just says, ‘Fruit’.
  • "Cleanliness is next to godliness," was actually published by Benjamin Franklin, not any author of scripture (although he borrowed it from a rabbi who was its original author)..
  • The Bible never mentions 3 wise men. It only says the Maji (Wise men) from the east came bearing their gifts. There is no number recorded.
  • "God helps those who help themselves." is not in the Bible.
