I’m on the road this week and don’t have time to write a regular full post. So it’s as good a time as any to ask for suggestions!
I’ve really enjoyed writing some sample Bible studies on verses that are easily misunderstood when removed from their context. Do you have any suggestions on other verses I could write on for this series? What are some verses you’ve seen commonly taken out of context? Or what are some verses that you’re really not sure what to do with, and you’d like to know how the context can help you make progress in understanding them?
For reference, here is a list of verses I’ve covered so far.
Please let me know your ideas for future posts. You can comment below, use the contact form, or email me at peter.krol@knowableword.com.
Or, you can even try your hand at writing your own “context matters” study and submitting it as a guest post!
1 Corinthians 2. It’s not laying out a principle of how the Holy Spirit reveals truth to all Christians for all time (or a principle of man’s inability to hear/understand/respond to the Gospel, ala Calvinism’s total inability), it’s about the mystery of Christ, hidden for ages, previously incomprehensible, now revealed to the Apostles, imparted to all through the Bible (or in person teaching Paul). See also: Ephesians 3:1-11 (especially 4)
Thanks for the suggestion, Judah! I’ve added it to my list.
