Amen. If one ignores language and context they can make the Word say whatever they like. For example,
John 6:10
{6:10} And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Hmmmm....Jesus took them where there was "much grass". See...maybe there's no issue with smokin' just a little Marry Jane. lol
