God never said, “Forgive and forget.”

Many people believe forgiveness means erasing memory. As if healing requires pretending nothing happened. But the Bible never says that. In Hebrew, forgiveness is tied to nasa — to carry, to bear. Not to delete. Not to deny. To carry without letting bitterness decide the future. That matters, because many older believers feel trapped between faith and memory. They forgave spouses. Parents. Churches. Leaders. But the memories stayed. So they assume forgiveness failed. But Scripture never asks you to lose your memory. It asks you to release revenge. Remembering is not disobedience. It is part of being human. If you still remember what hurt you after all these years, that does not mean you failed at forgiveness. It may mean you forgave honestly, not cheaply. #BibleMisconceptions #Forgiveness #BiblicalHebrew #FaithAndHealing #DidYouKnow

God never called doubt a sin.

Many believers were taught that doubt is dangerous. Ask too many questions, and faith will slip away. But the Bible tells a different story. The Hebrew word often translated as “faith” is emunah. It does not mean certainty. It means steadiness. Staying. Remaining in relationship. Abraham questions God. Moses argues. David complains in public prayer. Thomas doubts—and is not rejected for it. That matters, because long-term believers often feel embarrassed by late-life questions. After decades of belief, they think doubt means something broke. But doubt, in Scripture, is not the opposite of faith. Indifference is. Doubt keeps the conversation open. Silence is what ends it. If you are still asking hard questions after all these years, that is not rebellion. That is endurance. #BibleMisconceptions #FaithAndDoubt #BiblicalHebrew #ChristianReflection #DidYouKnow

God never promised you peace of mind.

Most people believe the Bible says God will give you peace of mind. A calm heart. Quiet thoughts. Emotional stability. But that phrase is not in the Bible. What Scripture actually talks about is shalom. Shalom does not mean feeling relaxed. It does not mean anxiety disappears. It does not mean life stops shaking you. In Hebrew, shalom means wholeness. Something that is complete even while it is under strain. That matters, because many lifelong believers quietly feel ashamed when their faith does not make them feel calm anymore. They pray, read, attend church—and still lie awake at night. They start wondering whether something is wrong with them. Or worse, whether God has pulled away. But the Bible never says faith removes inner chaos. It says God stays present inside it. David writes psalms while panicking. Job argues with God without being corrected for his tone. Jesus himself experiences anguish before the cross. None of them are described as lacking faith. We were taught—often unintentionally—that a “good believer” feels peaceful. So when anger, doubt, or exhaustion show up, we hide them. Not from others. From God. Shalom is not the absence of disturbance. It is the refusal of God to abandon you because of it. If your faith no longer feels calm, that may not mean it is failing. It may mean it is becoming honest. And honesty, in the Bible, was never punished. #BibleMisconceptions #BiblicalHebrew #Shalom #FaithAndDoubt #ChristianReflection
