Did Paul take scripture out of context?

Huh?

If you are creating an allusion, using stories as rhetorical devices to punctuate a truth, have at it. I think some get carried away with this, and it bleeds into their theology as well. For example, they begin to interpret the meaning of scripture without first acknowledging the author's intent and what the message meant to the original audience. This leads to pure subjective interpretation, which is the post-modern trend among so many.
