Bible Question (short): Do we display consistency to the world?

Question (full): Hypothetical Situations
......................................
I would like to discuss a few hypothetical situations between two hypothetical forum members named Tom and Jerry.
......................................
1. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse of scripture. Jerry AGREES with the interpretation and compliments Tom on such a profound thought. 2. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse of scripture. Jerry DISAGREES with the interpretation and rebukes Tom for failing to look at the overall context of the passage which clearly shows that Tom is totally wrong.
......................................
3. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse in the context of several paragraphs preceeding and following it. Jerry AGREES with the interpretation and compliments Tom on such a profound thought. 4. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse in the context of several paragraphs preceeding and following it. Jerry DISAGREES with the interpretation and rebukes Tom for going through mental gymnastics to change the clear meaning in the verse itself. Jerry reminds silly Tom that he has to look at the totality of scripture to get a full understanding of God’s message.

5. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse in the context of several paragraphs preceeding and following it, and within a framework that incorporates the entirety of scripture. Jerry AGREES with the interpretation and compliments Tom on such a profound thought and such thorough research. 6. Tom submits a post interpreting a single verse in the context of several paragraphs preceeding and following it, and within a framework that incorporates the entirety of scripture. Jerry DISAGREES with the interpretation and rebukes Tom for stretching scripture to the point of no return just so that it will fit into Tom’s flawed theology.
......................................
Granted, these are completely theoretical situations, and would never happen on this forum. However, they probably happen on other forums, and I’m interested in why everyone thinks that they would happen at those other places.
