John MacArthur used to say if you're using Scripture as a springboard to say whatever you want rather than teaching your people what the Bible actually says, you might as well exegete "Little Bo Peep." And he did a 90-second parody of how that could be done using the style of preaching so many contemporary evangelicals seem to favor.

Thumbs up Amen Fundie!

...and once more my dear brother...you hit the nail right on the head!...Excellant post! It's true, anyone can pick a few Scriptures, or parts of them, to try and prove anything they want...it's when you use the entire chapter...word for word...that you receive the truth...the Bible means what it says...period.

Blessings to you,
Verna

Agreed that anyone can pick out a few scriptures.

God is love, and all can count on that love, thats what the whole bible says in any language and translation.

The whole bible speaks of all of God's attributes and what does that have to do with this thread?

Praying for God's guidance as we study the scriptures, is necessary. We can read and still not understand without the Spirit's direction. God bless.

Does God hate wickedness and evil or does He love wickedness and evil?

His love eliminates it from us through all of his attributes.
