Some people rely so heavily on "context" (many times this really means only the distorted way they originally learned a particular Scriptural concept from someone else) that the plain, hard truth contained in a particular verse is watered down and made more palatable to our self-centered flesh and soul. The following short treatments of various verses attempts to emphasize the plain, hard truths that have been lost or misplaced. These "bullets" are for shooting down false teachings and practices (even our own!) - not for injuring your brothers. Handle with care, prayer and grace.
1 Cor. 12:13 What this Scripture says about the one and only Spirit of God.
2 Cor. 5:15 What this Scripture says about the will of God.
Mt. 6:5 The hypocrites of this passage are more prevalent than most assume.
Mt. 15:14 Blind followers and blind leaders are both trapped in a sick, symbiotic relationship.
1 Ths. 2:4 The "church's" gospel is simply different than the one Paul preached.
