Someday, the canon johnlock in other works won't be enough. Someday we're gonna find canon Johnlock in Sherlock, and Moffat will be the one putting it there.

It’s often been said that the Bible can be interpreted to mean anything you want, and That Is Totally True.

For example when Amos 4 says “Sin All You Want” or Luke 12:19, “Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!” it’s easy to interpret what you want to Read & Believe - but not what the Bible is actually saying or teaching.

You see, the biggest mistake when criticizing, mocking, or manipulating the Bible is not understanding the Context of a verse. For example, while glibly quoting “God is Love” (which is true!) but not also referencing that God is HOLY, JUST, and RIGHTEOUS does not imply and condone (therefore) that all 'love' is of God.

You see, unless you compare scripture with scripture it’s like trying to determine what a jig-saw puzzle picture is just by looking at a few carefully selected pieces. It’s not until you put all the pieces together as a whole that you can you see the true, complete picture.

God’s Word is like that puzzle. All the pieces are there, and to fully understand and appreciate it requires your attention! Proverbs 25:2 in essence says that God’s Glory (and the blessings His Glory promises) is concealed in this 'puzzle' and it is our honor to search for what is there and find it.

Friend, when you understand CONTEXT of His Word, and are not mislead by PRETEXT you’ll discover and have the reward of the blessings this book holds, both in this life and the next.

How are you reading and understanding the Bible? By PRETEXT or CONTEXT? Blessings To You Today
