What Happens When You Don't Know the Context

From Todd Friehl's column today:
"We must always, always, always read every verse in the Bible in its immediate context and in context of the whole Bible. If you fail to keep the rest of Scripture in view, you can twist Scripture and the next thing you know, [you're in major error and may lead others astray].

Do you remember the movie The Shining? It was the creepiest, scariest horror movie of the ‘70s (and yes, I saw it before God saved me). It was dark, bloody and downright evil. I would like you to watch the attached re-made movie trailer for The Shining. (There is nothing offensive about what you are going to watch and this is NOT an endorsement of the movie.)

What you are about to witness is "movie proof-texting."
A clever individual pulled out little snippets of this gruesome movie to make it look downright charming. As you view this, keep the context of the whole movie in view.
And keep this in mind, if you do not keep the entire context of the Bible in mind when you read Scripture, you might not end up twisting Scripture yourself, but you may be duped by someone who does.
