Individual scripture needs to be interpreted considering not only the entire chapter in which it is found, then the book in which it is found (for proper context), and finally the verse must be considered within the Bible as a whole; Hanging a major theological position on such a small nail (one verse) will not hold. To draw a scriptural interpretation based on just one verse in the entire chapter in which it is found could do great violence to the actual meaning that was intended. A good example of this tactic is found in 1 Corinthians 11, where vs. 15 is commonly singled out to conclude a woman's hair is her covering and disregarding the rest of the other 14 verses - half a chapter of Holy Scripture! I'm not going into detail about that here I wrote a separate post on this recently. "Jesus wept" No book. No chapter, or verse. No context. Can you understand (see in your mind) what those nine bits of data represent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. That was worth the price of admission. I am not really a bits and bytes guy. More of an 'information' conveyance guy. That space was crucial info.

I'll use numbers so anyone can follow along. It's unique to the internet message board format. It can't happen in classrooms or during bible study. Understand this: Scripture bombing can't happen in such environs because... (refer to #1) It can't actually happen in certain areas of the forums which are dedicated to scripture study... theological debate... and similar pursuits. Understand this: scripture bombing can't actually occur in certain parts of this forum because copying and pasting large amounts of scripture in a post are often necessary in such places! () Remember #1? This is an internet message board and it helps to not forget that. According to the original author of the thread who referenced his definition of "scripture bombing" from the following blog post your list is not correct nor is your definition about "scripture bombing." The definition of "scripture bombing" I responded to which is in regards to the definition the original author set forth in his original post and was supported by his referenced blog post he found. - link below. http://www.faithmeetsworld.com/scripture-bombing/ Edited December 17, 2019 by Servant of the Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your statement, Servant. If I was in some kind of intense theological discussion/debate, I will give as much context as warranted, if I feel it necessary. 'Jesus wept' draws out a flood of emotions for me, not needing support from elsewhere. Not trying to 'prove' something additional. Often I use the story of people being stoned in the old testament for illustration of context. I have to tell seekers it doesn't mean doing drugs, but getting executed. Context/understanding. When I am simply discussion scripture with friends, or a seeker, I don't even quote chapter or verse. Often can't remember it. But that does not negate the truth/light that I'm trying to share. As a carpenter, I can state confidently that a two by four # 2 yellow pine kiln dried stud spaced sixteen inches on center will support a second story structure. I cannot quote the page, chapter, or the code book, but I know it works as designed, and will confidently advise someone asking for verification. It's just some times the intense scrutiny applying rules of study overwhelms the gist/purpose of the topic, and a new (off)topic of 'proper study/Hermeneutics entails. I try to present/study truth simple and understandable. (mostly for myself to understand)............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
