Subject: Twisting scripture with quotes |
Bible Note: A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. The so-called typical "attacking a straw man" argument creates the illusion of having completely refuted or defeated an opponent's proposition by covertly replacing it with a different proposition (i.e. "stand up a straw man") and then to refute or defeat that false argument ("knock down a straw man") instead of the original proposition. This technique has been used throughout history in polemical debate, particularly in arguments about highly charged emotional issues where a fiery, entertaining "battle" and the defeat of an "enemy" may be more valued than critical thinking or understanding both sides of the issue. Allegedly, straw-man tactics were once known in some parts of the United Kingdom as an Aunt Sally, after a pub game of the same name where patrons threw sticks or battens at a post to knock off a skittle balanced on top. Many discussions on the forum of late are generated by quotes of noted Biblical scholars. However the truth is many Biblical scholar's theology is in opposition to each other. Some post a quote as if the quote Is the final answer to a theological question. When in fact the quote is nothing more than quoted author's opinion. Different schools of theology have existed since the beginning of the church. These differences come because not all scripture is interpreted the same by every reader. The one that does not agree is usually accused of twisting scripture. However that is a two way street as each points at the other. Another way to attempt to defeat differences in opinion is to charge the opposition of straw man arguments again usually a two way street. Problem different interpretations of scripture do exist! Question did Jesus expect this to happen? I think he did that is why he charged he disciples to remain in unity and to teach others what Jesus had taught them. We see in Acts when differences arose the disciples came together to resolve them. Paul was fairly clear saying if anyone teaches something different than did the were false teachers. The question is how what did Paul teach? Many take this part of Paul,s teaching and ignore others. Again a charge that can be brought against both sides of such discussions. |
