...quote Benjamin Franklin.

While Franklin, a deist who was never once a Christian, is attributed to the exact phrase, the earliest form appeared circa 500 BC, when Aesop wrote: "The gods help them that help themselves."

This idea never appears in the bible. In fact, it goes counter to its teachings.
