Yesterday, those were the words of our Pastor.
Our Pastor made this point. "Scripture may be quoted out of context to justify almost any position". And he included himself in that warning!!!
The message is to study the Bible. When someone quotes scripture, go to The Book and read. Understand what was written and the context of what was actually said.
BTW, I do that a lot, and have experienced this practice of "deception". I wonder if those pastors who do it "dumb down" to the lowest common denominator of the congregation in order to make their point, or are deceptive on purpose.
Then there is the other problem of those who "interpret" what is clearly said in the Bible to twist the message "so we understand what was meant".
Ephesians is ripe with examples.
