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.
I know you didn’t explicitly say that it was in the Bible. You’ll note, though, it’s a statement “about God”. Now ... when we talk about something that God is or does, we only have one way and one way alone to actually know what God is or does or (in a limited human fashion, of course) to know him.
“Human sayings” are not the way we can know anything about God and be assured that it is true.
On the other hand, “God’s Word” is inerrant and infallible, and also by Jesus own Words, he says if you have seen him, you have seen the father. We know the father through Jesus, and Jesus through the Word.
All that to say this ... one cannot have any expectation of truth about God from human sayings ... only through the Word of God. If it’s not in the Bible, one cannot know “that” about God.
That’s the meaning of me saying, “It’s not in the Bible” ... not that you said it or not ... but that not being there, it’s totally unreliable and is simply a human saying, and nothing more.
