Reminds me of;

Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

Proverbs 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

So which is it? ;)

Indeed, Ray was correct on both accounts!

Dave in Tenn:
Another thing to consider:  Scripture wasn't written with chapter and verse.  If you stop reading too soon (or don't start reading soon enough) you can miss what's being said "in context", which is the thing being said.  "Context" can also help in understanding the words--especially those pesky 'bible-words'.

I think what people who value 'context' too highly too often do is 'add to' or 'take away' with theological assumptions that often make what scripture says quite different from (even opposite of) what it does say.  They also are more apt to think that the entirety of scripture is full of contradictions because they don't believe the 'declarations' enough to see the greater picture.  It's not that they don't see the trees for the forest...they don't believe the forest is made out of trees, nor that what they are standing next to IS a tree.

Anyway, just a couple of paragraphs to confuse people.
