I am compiling a file of Commonly Misused Scriptures.
2 Timothy 2.15 tells us that we must correctly handle the word of truth. And Peter, speaking of the letters of the Apostle Paul, said, His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures.
Most (if not all) of us have, at one time or another, been guilty of misusing, misinterpreting, or misapplying a scripture. While our motives have been pure, our understanding has been
There are scriptures and biblical expressions we often based on misinterpreted passages we commonly use that do not always reflect the real meaning as they are used in the Bible.
For example, people often say, My spirit does not bear witness with her/his/your spirit," a statement taken from Romans 8:16, The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God, which of course, has nothing to do with liking or disliking someone else and everything to do with the Holy Spirits reassurance to us personally that we are a child of God.
Another is the phrase I die daily which is often interpreted to mean that we die to self or sin every day, but in context (1 Cor. 15.30-32) it is used it seems underscore that Paul was simply saying that he was in peril of death every day, as modern translations reveal (e.g., For I swear, dear brothers and sisters, I face death daily, NLT).
This are just a couple.
Can you think of others?
