I know the saying, but unfortunately, it’s just not found in the Bible. I would put that one down to human wisdom, and not try to make it something that God actually conveys to us.

I personally have all sorts of “good sayings” that I think are really good, but I would never try to make them to be the mind of God.

I have a saying it goes:

Better the death of Masada than the death of Auschwitz.

He didn’t say it was in the Bible.

He said it was an old adage.

Please re-read my post - you are making a false assunmption.

I did not say it was in the bible.

My exact words are:

Remember the old adage: The Lord Helps Those Who Help Themselves

It doesn't hurt to give HIM a little assistance either.

Luke 22:36

He said to them, “ But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one”...
