When reading the scriptures I have come across many “out-of-context” referrals back to the OT. This certainly does open the door for many arguments that are mostly non-productive and sometimes detrimental to the body of Christ. So what’s new with that?
If you want clarity you should take the scriptures in context. They build upon themselves and will reveal the greater part of the truth. Then there is revelation, where God opens the eye of the reader and all of a sudden a problem area makes sense though it doesn’t make real sense in context. Then there are spot moments when something way out of the blue comes across your path and only makes sense if it stands apart form the rest of scripture but speaks volumes about the circumstance that you are facing. Lastly, no scripture at all, just the Spirit opening your heart, mind, soul to the truth. etc?
In the first example that is what you should teach. The second example share. The third and fourth and fifth(?) should be kept in your own heart and seldom shared… unless you are trying to start a new denomination.
Then again, who knows what the Spirit will show and who you are to share it with. If nothing else, it ain’t dull.
