"The Lord works in mysterious ways."
One of the most confidently quoted 'Bible verses' — written by an 18th-century English poet, not found anywhere in Scripture.

"Hate the sin, love the sinner."
Widely used as a biblical principle, especially in theological debates. The phrase originates with Gandhi, not the Bible.

The problem isn't malice — it's assumption. Most people repeat what they've heard, never realising it was never written.
Over half of Americans attribute quotes to the Bible that simply aren't there — often repeating them with complete confidence.
The Bible is the world's best-selling book, yet most people cannot name 5 of its 66 books. Familiarity and knowledge are not the same thing.
Misinformation spreads six times faster than corrections online. When false quotes are attributed to Scripture, the damage outlasts the debunk.
