- specific examples escape me of out of context scriptures.
- i usually try to push them out of my mind before they
- corrupt me. because the bible can say whatever we want
- it to if we find the right verse.
-
- what does john 3:16 mean on its own?
-
- of course the above law example was tongue-in-cheek.
- but it seems as useful as any single line a bible thumping
- self-rightous king james babbling televangelized net user
- has put forth.
-
- i am not mocking the !word of god!, just those who
- misinterpret and misapply it.
- they are dangerous.
-
- the sky is falling.
-
- mark.
