Is this a Mandela Effect thing?

Yeah, I misremembered it as 'the lion shall lie down with the lamb' until I saw Rev's post.  (My preferred read is 'the loin shall lie down with the limb')

Some other misremembered verses:

'Pride goeth before a fall'

'Money is the root of all evil'

'This, too, shall pass'

'Jesus? He's right over - huh.  He was there a minute ago, I swear'

Boru

Everyone probably already thinks I’ve gone crazy, so I may as well explain things.

I personally remember "lion and lamb" and have never ever heard anything about a wolf. This is all second hand, though. To me, the culture has been entirely permeated with the lion. References to it are everywhere: in media, statues, direct quotes on the internet, even one article quoting lion with a link right next to it that shows you it’s actually wolf.

A lot of people will swear blind that they literally learned parts of the bible by heart, and that it said lion. It’s amazing how this "mistake" has gone unchecked for so long. I’ve never once heard anyone challenge it (although I don’t have religious folks around me much, to be fair.)

It’s not just this, either. There’s many other things in the bible people will swear are different to when they memorised it. And I don’t just mean different on the internet, different in all the books. Some examples (although I can get more):

"Wine skins" has become "bottles"
"Matrix", "stuff" and even an emoticon have come out of nowhere into the text
The Lord’s Prayer says "which art in heaven", not "who are in heaven"

And so on.

This leaves me with three explanations:

1) There have been innocent myths about the bible, which have become so pervasive that they have screwed with the memories of millions of people, even those who learnt verses by heart, and the incorrect text somehow never managed to push back.

2) There has been one or more psychological operations run to coerce people into misremembering.

3) People aren’t misremembering and the text has actually been changed (the Mandela effect).

The problem here is that all three of these are seemingly ludicrous explanations. I am open minded so I don’t instantly rule anything out, but the problem with the ME (besides being "supernatural") is that it’s untestable. Some who support the ME think that people at CERN have found a way to fuck with reality and are experimenting.

I don’t believe any of those 3, as they’re all extremely weak and convoluted. That leaves me with nothing. It’s extremely interesting, at least.

This is one of many videos I’ve found where someone who believes it is the ME has investigated. I think the results are very interesting and worth hearing. It’s a conversation with a pastor who has supposedly read the text before and says it was lion.





Lastly, and hilariously, there are many people trying to debunk the ME relating to this. Obviously doing so is as fruitless as trying to prove it. The fact they are trying, despite making them look stupid, is somewhat suspicious to some people. The funniest thing of all is that I found such a video, looking entirely serious, on a channel called "lion and lamb ministries".

Thank you for anyone who made it through my nonsense!

The whole question is whether you really did remember wrong, or not. Like you say, it was in a song. I doubt you got that part wrong, it’s probably all over songs as much as anything else.

It's a version of number one.

From my failing memories of church and sunday school it was lamb/lion. Think I also heard it from TV preachers. 

And weathermen talking about the month of March.

I’ve always known it as “which art in heaven”. Never heard anyone say “who are in heaven”. But I also thought it was the lion and the lamb. I mean, it’s a story that’s told to offer some kind of meaning or lesson so I don’t think it really matters if you call it a lion or a wolf. What do you think the significance is?

I've oft quoted the following passage: "Dwell not on the rituals of man, but rather on the word of God," which I was very sure was a direct quote from the Bible, probably the King James version. I used it as a quote to show how bullshit the Catholic church in particular is, since that particular denomination dwells on rituals like crazy. Can't find it-- where did it come from? Why are these very specific words stuck in my brain? Do I have seer stones under my pillow that make me come up with Bible-sounding stuff all on my own?

Whichever predator the lamb is lying with it is being suffocated by a bite to the throat and disemboweled while still alive. Hakuna Matata!

From memory, it comes from a P T Barnum exhibit in which he had a live lion and a lamb together. Everyone was amazed that these two animals could be together so peacefully.

A friend of PT's added his amazement.

PT said something like; " Yes, it's a great exhibit .We'll be fine as long a we don't run out of lambs."

In recent years, the image of Christians as sheep has seemed increasingly appropriate.

Seriously : In the mass, immediately following the consecration, where Catholics believer the bread and wine LITERALLY become the body and blood of Jesus.(the form does not change)--The priest holds the host up to the congregation, and says;, in a loud voice: "ECCE AGNUS DEI;QUI TOLIS PECATA MUNDI" (Behold the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world) . It's been a few decades, so I can't guarantee my latin or the translation.

Have no idea where the lion comes from.

Wait,....... I got it. It was a wolf in lions clothing. I know I've heard something very similar. No wonder there is confusion. 

Hold on, now I'm wondering if they weren't both wolfs.
