Which One Was And Wasn't In The Bible?

Brandon, Cathy, Dave, David, Mehrad, Phill, Timothy, Sheila, and Stacy all got all six answers correct to last week’s blog question: Which One Is And Isn’t In The Bible? Way to go!!!

So I put their names in my Baltimore Orioles cap and Jackie drew out the winner of the $25 Best Buy gift card I won on Kumar's blog May 4.

And the winner is: PHILL. Congratulations!!! I'll forward your snail mail address to Kumar and harass him until he sends the gift card directly to you. Here, as Brandon so perfectly posted, are the correct answers and sources for your reading enjoyment:

1. C. Book of Mormon (Mormon 8:37). For behold, ye do love money, and your substance, and your fine apparel, and the adorning of your churches, more than ye love the poor and the needy, the sick and the afflicted.

2. D. Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177) It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East and the West, but righteousness is this that one should...give away wealth out of love for Him to the near of kin and the ophans and the needy and the wayfarer and the beggars and for (the emancipation of) the captives, and keep up prayer.

3. A. Bible (James 1:27) Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

4. E. Tipitaka (Buddhist)(Samyutta Nikaya 3.6 - Appaka Sutta Few) Few are those people in the world who, when acquiring lavish wealth, don't become intoxicated and heedless, don't become greedy for sensual pleasures, and don't mistreat other beings.

5. B. Bhavagad-gita {Hindu}(Bhavagad-gita 10.10) To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding by which they can come to Me.

6. F. NOT IN ANY OF THE TEXTS God helps those who help themselves
