I can only say one thing, too many of us learned how to read but never learned how to understand what we have read. So we take the explanation of others whether right or wrong and fight for it. I have heard preached that there is comming and anti Christ all my life yet there is not one scripture that speaks of and anti Christ comming. Talk about twisting scripture to say what you want it to. I have heard that the Jews will build another temple when there is not one scripture that say that.
All of these teachings are from scriptures taken out of context to teach a doctrine that is based on mans ideas and not sound word of God.
Why tell me do we read the bible different from any other book, bible teacher today do not study a book of the bible from front to back, instead they get out a concordance and look up subjects and make scripture fit the subject they want to teach, taking the meaning out of the context completly.
One big one is the teaching that one must obey the pastor, from
Hebrews 13:17. Nowhere in the chapter does the writter imply the kind of obediance preached by most concervitive pastors. Yet men have twisted this one verse to say something that is not even emplyied. Anyone with a greek dictionary can find this in about three miniutes. Just look up the meaning of the word obey in this verse. (hint, it is not the same word as Obey in Ephesians)
