People can do that, but that wasn't the point of this thread. What I want to discuss here is the act of ascribing meaning to a text, outside of, and in spite of, its context, and if that is a proper way in which to read the Bible.

I've seen countless people treat tiny portions of God's Word like one would treat the contents of a "fortune cookie". I've done it myself. It's always done in a way in which ignores context. @HankD argued for it in another thread which sparked this one. He thinks it's Okay, and I had hoped...

Looks the Police don't have the guts to do anything but blame the victims: Police officers investigating the Telford grooming gang scandal, possibly the largest in UK history, were sent an internal memo telling them “in most cases the sex is consensual”. The initial police probe, Operation...

Would you be lying? You just told me that it was a crime.

Yup. The standard Liberal answer: "We didn't fail. We just need more of your money."

Does God Himself not condemn idolatry and false religion "with every breath"? Does the Apostle Paul condemn false teachers, wishing them castrated? According to the second half of your statement, you are here to be an apologist for a false religion. May I ask, are you on Muslim boards...

In a textbook example of denial and projection, Trump foes in and out of government wove a sinister yarn meant to take him down. Barack Obama keeps a close watch on his emotions. “I loved Spock,” he wrote in February 2015 in a presidential statement eulogizing Leonard Nimoy. Growing up in...

Thanks. I understood what you were saying. It's simply that many Brits are brainwashed into thinking there is is such a thing as "free", and that their system is great. Unless and until they live in the US, they haven't a clue. Since my wife is from the UK and her family is still there, she has...

If You Woke Up Tomorrow With Supernatural Gifting What Should You Do Biblically? First, I would have breakfast. Then take a shower and brush my teeth. I might shave, but I might not. . .

Perhaps I used too big a word in the title.

I live in the UK, and I am arrested for saying, "All Muslims are kiddie-fiddlers and rapists". As my attorney, how do you defend me? What's your argument in my defense?

I do have the right to remain silent, yes.
