**Please note--this is not a "true or false" test. "Non-scriptural" means only that the statement is not contained in the Bible (KJV). Some non-scriptural statements--for example, the commonly accepted belief that the heavenly host sang though the KJV merely states that they were "...praising God and saying..."--may well be true. (A multitude of heavenly voices sounds like a pretty good choir, if you ask me... :~)
