'Take as gospel' có một từ mới là gospel nghĩa là sách Phúc Âm trong Kinh Tân Ước. Thành ngữ này ngày nay được dùng để chỉ điều gì được coi là sự thực đáng tin.
Ví dụ
My mom has often warned (dặn dò) me not to go outside with wet hair. She says I’ll catch a cold, but I’ve never taken it as gospel. Frankly, I don’t believe it’s true, like a lot of common advice (lời khuyên thông thường) mothers like to give.
Apparently educators are concerned that students have access (cơ hội tiếp cận) to technology but don’t know how to use it, because many of them take as gospel what they find on-line. But this information should not always be believed. It may be an advertisement and not a quality (có giá trị) source.

= One who uses the Bible to attack/defame others' characters instead of as a guide to proper living. These people tend to be depressingly ignorant of anything else except the Bible and behavior as expected by the religious.
That Bible Thumper makes me so sick! Every day, he stands on my porch shouting about how I'm doomed to a flaming eternity in Hell just because I watch Crank Yankers and South Park!
