Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
22Therefore, consider God's kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God's kindness toward you--if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.

And...? No explanation of context and application.
Why is this so prevalent on forums. It's like we say Israel progressed into the new covenant and God sees the church as Israel with the addition of Gentile believers who joined them. And someone responds, quoting:
Romans 11:26 KJV And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
..and then says, "Believe the prophets!"
No context, explanation or application discussed whatsoever.
Ok... so...
Matthew 27:5 KJV And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
And then...
Luke 10:37 KJV And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
I've got a noose for you. Knock yourself out!
