Bible Note: Very true, Steve, one cannot build a system of theology on an isolated verse or passage. And here we mean, of course, a genuinely orthodox theology. But cults do it all the time. They build a cultic "non-theology" -- a scheme tailored made to suit their pre-conceived notions. If they can twist a verse here and there that seems to lend credence to their beliefs, fine, they'll use it. If not, they fly without it. And in the process they manage to delude and deceive an incredible number of people. --Hank |
