"Jesus helps those who help themselves. Pretty sure that includes elementary school kids in poverty." - conservatives

Which isn't a biblical saying in any translation or text.

It's a saying, just not direct quote.

It's not a biblical passage. It's not a poorly translated passage. It's not anywhere in the Bible. It's a made up platitude by the idiots that brought you the prosperity gospel.

Ok, still doesn't change the fact that it is a saying. I didn't disagree. I said it was a saying.

You are right it is not in the Bible. Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_helps_those_who_help_themselves
