I. Some people believe that the bible contributes to child abuse-it does not. What the bible does is ...is a witness to the evil of this sin. And what the bible teaches on all aspects of raising up children must be be in proper context of the bible as a whole. Meaning 1. to qoute one verse in isolation of other verses that speak directly or indirectly to the situation because it supports your view or case. 2. reading what you want to hear in the passage(s) and not what it truly is saying and teaching. 3. declaring what you believe God told you it was so. 4. simply say it is true because the bible says so. 5. The pastor or teacher said so.
II.
point 1. Not to quote one verse or verses in isolation but to study the bible as a whole to see what it truly teaches on any given subject or situation.
point 2. The fancy word is exogesis
point 3: The sure way to test this out is to test this word from the Lord againest scripture--If it is truly a word from God it will never contradict or go againest or stand in complete contrast to what the word declares about any given subject.
point 4:( and point 5:as well) is laziness to study the word, need a respected authority to endorse ones actions or beliefs without once again studying and applying or simply out of ignorance because it sounds biblical.
point 5: they are many forms a pope may take. Whatever we believe must be supported by scripture and not stand againest it.
