Theological miscellany
by David Finnamore

Then Judas went out and hanged himself. Go thou and do likewise. And what thou doest, do quickly.

A top reason for misinterpreting Scripture is failure to consider context. It's a fatal error, yet so easily avoided. Reading the whole passage in which a "verse" of Scripture is found takes no special training, and very little time or effort. Most false doctrine relies on a smattering of phrases and fragments culled from various passages (sometimes only one!). We wouldn't think of treating any other book that way. The Bible, above all books, commands our respect. Don't even start to think about what a "verse" means until you've read the whole passage it's part of. Or I'm comin' over there with a rope.
