Re: [TruthTalk] A 'prooftexter' vs a 'contexter'

Blainerb:   Why do you not believe God can use his own words from the scriptures to express his displeasure over a current situation?   Jesus often quoted the scriptures to the Jews to make a  point.  In the book of Matthew, the writer (Matthew) often does much the same thing.  A departure from this would have indicated the story was false.      In a message dated 7/23/2005 7:22:08 P.M.
