NEWs Flash! The bible NEVER said that God will not give you more than you can bear.

It says he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. There are times in your life that you will have more than you can bear. Other wise... what would you need God for? :)

I know this is going to strike up a debate but it was NOT my intention. I just learned this, this past week and found it comforting as a Christian to finally know that the old saying was incorrect. It reminded me that God is not 'out to get me' when things go down hill. He is waiting for me to run to him. While I intend to look at the responses I do not intend to reply to them. I am not one to debate anything so take these words as you will and feel free to debate them among yourselves. I have nothing to defend. I already believe this with all my heart. Have a blessed day.

I have two comments, of sorts.

First of all, I don't believe anything in the Bible is the word of any god, whether direct or inspired. I think we are all at risk of facing very difficult times. Such is the nature of life.

Secondly, if you don't want to debate this, why did you put it in Religious Debate? Just curious.

Looks like they got recatted here.

As for the translation, I'm sure either way, there's no shortage of people in eating disorder clinics and substance abuse rehabs who would disagree.

I was always told he would not put more on you than you could bare.

Great now what am I suppose to tell myself while I'm writing 3 different research papers on 3 different subjects and studying for 6 finals, while working 5 days a week and balancing a check book with no money to balance it with so I can go grocery shopping to plan the meals for the next 5 nights. Crap that was the only thing I had to tell myself to get me through....now I'm screwed.

Lol...not sure if luvmygrlz's post was meant to be funny or honest--or both.

I knew the Bible didn't say that. Nor does it say "God helps those who helps themselves", like many believe. The Golden Rule is often misquoted as well.
