Something I have been thinking about for awhile without being able to articulate nearly as well.
When I talk about Context vs Convenience, this quote always comes to mind. It’s funny that one of my goals when I set out on my journey of biblical understanding was to disprove this very quote. We all know how that worked out for me. The Bible is such word clay. You can use as much or as little of it as you want to build yourself a coffee mug, or a life-sized statue. The foundation of a church can be built on a few pieces of scriptures, while others can be built on all of scripture. The malleability of scripture is a thing of wonder.
