Worst scriptures taken out of context? (page 2)

Narkissos

Warlock,

2 Timothy 3:1-5 is an excellent example. I remember feeling a bit uneasy when using this text to show we were in the last days, especially when reaching v. 5. How could Timothy avoid people who were not supposed to be around back then?

The very context of Bible is Jesus. So it is pretty clear that whenever WT speaks it speaks out of context! But other example comes to mind is Eccl 9:5, where when we read from 1-5 we see that context is from "under the Sun" viewpoint, it's not talking about state of dead from their viewpoint or God's viewpoint.

Yeah Borgia it cracks me up any time the Society uses David as a good example at all. You always have those "Yeah but he banged Bathsheba" thoughts going around in the back of your mind.

My vote goes to Proverbs 4:18. I think that we're all well aware of how this is used out of context.

But the path of the righteous ones is like the bright light that is getting lighter and lighter until the day is firmly established.(NWT)

Rev 7 and 14 about the great crowd and 144k going to heaven

Jesus being the mediator primarily for 144k

James 2:17 ? no part of the world which can include almost anything. Quakers beleive not using electricity or motorized equipment

is not being part of the world.

The witnesses with their " unique teachings " have usually one scripture to back up their doctrines.
