Well, Cal & aron know what I'm talking about.

And the intent was not to say that we can never be "spoken to" from a verse about something that is not actually there. But it should never rise to the level of "a teaching." I have already done the analysis of several others. While this is not the only kind of "error" that I have often found, it is a significant issue.

And the fact that one Christian tells another about something they think they saw in a scripture that is not actually there is not a terrible thing. But when they are taking the position of teacher, or want to start a small get-together of Christians to talk about it, then there should be standards. And having a good-sounding idea that is in search of a verse that could be stretched to support it is not a quality that should be found in Christian teachers. And people trying to find a soapbox for their nifty thoughts should realize that they are then holding themselves out as teachers and are subject to more serious scrutiny.
