Many of the arguments we have about certain theological views are focused on isolated verses from the Bible pulled from context. What is interesting is that so often individuals focus mainly on a single and/or isolated verses.

Rather than the focusing on the entire narrative of the Bible and how it comes together as a whole, we tend to copy and paste our favorite verses together to suit our own needs.


In other words, we let our own personal theology shape our interpretation of the biblical text instead of letting the biblical text shape our theology.
