As most have, I’ve been listening to the two parties hammer each other during the march to election day. What is interesting to me is how each party often simply misquotes what the other has said. This is not a one sided affair. I have listen as “believers” discuss such antics and how unbelieving they are that “quotes” are often spoken out of context by the political spinmiesters in the ads they produce.
How easy it is to see in others what we find ourselves doing all the time as we “systematically misquote” what God has said by quoting verses out of context and often without thinking. So next time you hear a political spinmiester misquote someone, think about how you may be performing the duty of a “believing spinmiester” by fragmentizing his story.
I wonder what he thinks about such antics when we do them!
