And that's what I love to do too...Thanks Mike! And that's what I love to do too. So often, if I don't understand what a verse or passage is saying, I back up and see what was said before it, and after it as well. That clears up SO MANY misunderstandings in the scriptures! Context clears up so many things. One thing Kap and I have noticed is that Paul often took large chunks of writing (several paragraphs, or even chapters at a time) to either make a point, or to clarify or give background for a larger point that he was making. Often, just picking or choosing a sole sentence or paragraph isn't enough to see his full point. Sometimes, that one sentence or paragraph makes much more sense with the surrounding context.Joel Bruesekehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37305950.post-41175840232256316922013-07-11T10:57:06.973-05:002013-07-11T10:57:06.973-05:00I always say that you can't highlight, circle ...I always say that you can't highlight, circle and underline passages of the Bible without knowing the context.
