I was posting scripture on a Christian forum and got banned because of it. I was simply posting some of the very numerous verses that said the exact opposite of a point someone was trying to make without Scripture.....
These are surely the end times...............
There was something on one of the major networks about the "new christianity". they were younger and said they did not want the word evangelical used to describe them, that there were many other things more important than, say, abortion that they needed to focus on etc. I figured this of course was the type of christian the msm would focus on!!!
Sad.....but things are certainly falling into place.

God does not contradict Himself in his word, what you have experienced is people taking verses out of context, ignoring the other verses before and after it. You are right, there are some who can make it say anything they
I have come to the point where I listen to no man anymore when it comes to the Bible. I search it for myself with the author!
The 20/20 method is helpful. Read 20 verses before & 20 verses after.
I had not heard that before but that is great and will have to remember it. Not only do we need to take things in context but remember that every version of the Bible is a translation which will always have a personal opinion in it. I recently checked on Exodus 20:14 and found 13 different translations in 19 different versions of the Bible. Thye were all similar but enough differences to cause arguments. Ask God what it means, then shut up and listen. He will tell you the answer.
No need to go back to that forum, then. Christian forums tend to ban those who don't meld into their line of thinking.
