Philippians 4:13:
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” This verse is often used as a general promise of empowerment, but in its context, Paul is referring to his ability to be content in various circumstances, whether he has little or much.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” This verse is often applied to individuals as a personal promise of prosperity, but in its context, it was written to the exiled Israelites in Babylon and speaks of their eventual restoration after judgment.
Matthew 7:1
Judge not, that you be not judged.” This verse is often used to discourage any form of judgment, but in context, Jesus is addressing hypocritical judgment and encourages discernment, not the avoidance of all judgment.
Lesson:
Based on Christian teachings, taking the Bible out of context is viewed as a serious issue and is considered wrong, even a form of “twisting” or distorting Our Heavenly Father’s message. It is important to read the whole bible book each chapter not just a verse. An example of out of context would be using that the Bible would permit you to take another life. Our Heavenly Father commanded Thou shall not kill. That means do not do the act. Another word is do not murder for any reason. The bible does not permit it either. The only being that would allow this is satan, the adversary. Many lessons have been taught about the adversary. The 6th commandment of the 10 commandments is thou shall not kill or murder. It is ok to read and study the Bible and understand it, but it is not ok to take it out of context to take another life or even a family life off this planet. It is a big sin to do. It is also not ok to take the Bible out of context because you do not understand it that well. We encourage you to read our site and newer lessons we are having of taking a bible verse and doing a study lesson about what it is about and what it means. We have observed the act of where people are taking the Bible out of context, and we encourage them to become a child of Our Heavenly Father and give their lives to Jesus. We will leave a prayer at the bottom of this lesson to help you pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Also pray and ask for forgiveness and repent of the action and do not do it anymore.
Closing Prayer: Heavenly Father we pray that everyone reads this lesson carefully and ceases the action of taking your word out of context and really gets to understand it the way it is written. We pray that a lot of the violence will cut down a lot. That people that have been victims of a set up do not get that type of treatment. Eventhough it is not in your will most of the time to do this. In the name of Our lord and savior we pray.
Our lord and savior we pray. Please forgive me of my sins against you, please come into my heart. By the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for Saving me.
