Scripture out of context
Outside a transmission shop in my town, is a sign that reads, "2 Chronicles 7:14". And today, I saw a truck with, "2 Chron 7:14" on the top of its windshield. This got me thinking. Which bible verse is used out of context the most?
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
-Edward R Murrow

Mt 16:18

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

that's easy either Jeremiah 29:11 or Philippians 4:13!
And pretty much anything from the Sermon on the Mount . . .

And that, brothers and sisters, is the kind of foolishness you get people who insist on denying biblical theism. A good illustration of any as the length people will go to avoid acknowledging basic truths.Proinsias wrote:I don't think you are hearing me. Preference for ice cream is a moral issue

How do you take Genesis 1:1-31 out of context? I can see how you can disagree with someone's interpretation of the passage, but out of context . . .Silvertusk wrote:Genesis 1:1-31

Are you kidding? There's nothing quite like the feeling of floating in space while simultaneously feeling that your eyelids weigh 300lbs while simultaneously feeling nothing, all while knowing you are thinking something but not quite sure what it is.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Ease up on the antihistamines, Jac!
