Does context not matter at all? |
I've literally heard sermons where a strawman argument was set up where someone rebels against what is taught by saying,"Got any Bible for that?" In the context of the sermon it was seen as something someone would do that was looking for excuses to "sin".
Sadly I've also seen the mindset of "Context isn't important as long as it makes a good sermon."....if this attitude was applied to how we portrayed people......we get in trouble for that but it's fine to take God's word out of context.
