Out of Context Scripture
September 24, 2007
I was just thinking of how many splinters of Christianity are split away from main Christian bodies because of taking Scripture out of context or misinterpreting it. I thought of KJVO advocates like Riplinger (not like Hills or Letis) who make wild claims based on a Scripture taken out of context (especially in the use of ellipses). Then i thought of how a new splinter group of folks who don’t think the Bible should be in a bound book could be created…
…the word of God is not bound! (2Ti 2:9)

Citing Jeremiah..or is it Zechariah
September 7, 2007
The ESV Blog points to a blog that gives a reason for the Mat 27:9-10 quote as being from Jer., but it is also from Zechariah. I have always thought that the real reason was because the Jews were known to combine the minor prophet scrolls withing the major prophets. So Zechariah would have been in the Jeremiah scroll. Thoughts?
