Fact vs Myth: Friday the 13th

I myself have collected Friday-the-13th myths from different sites and counter it with Biblical and scientific facts. Here are some:


------

Myth: If 13 people sit down to dinner together, one will die within the year.

Fact: The truly righteous man attains life, but he who pursues evil goes to his death [Proverbs 11:19]. Death is the wage of our sins, it doesn't have anything to do with 13 people eating together.

------

Myth: If you have 13 letters in your name, you will have the devil's luck.

Fact: Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come? [Ecclesiastes 8:7] And Jesus said himself, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me [John 14:1]. If you have the Lord, no devil's luck can hurt you. No worries, your name is special.

Myth: Never change your bed on Friday; it will bring bad dreams.

Fact: Lol. Happy to say, new beds will give us a better sleep. The real causes of bad dreams are as follows: Anxiety and stress, often as the result of a traumatic life event, are sometimes the cause of nightmares and bad dreams. When and what we eat may affect our nighttime rest, if not our tendency toward bad dreams. A small study published in the International Journal of Psychophysiology had a group of healthy men eat spicy meals before bed on some evenings and compared their quality of sleep on nights where they had non-spiced meals.

Myth: The name "Friday" was derived from a Norse deity worshiped on the sixth day, known either as Frigg (goddess of marriage and fertility), or Freya (goddess of sex and fertility), or both.

Fact: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me." [Deuteronomy 5:6-7] It is very clear that this goddess does not exist.

There will be more to come next Friday the 13th. Weeeeh =0
