Home Essay Series Most Misused Bible Verses
The Most Misused Verses in the Bible: Ten Popular Texts Put Back in Context is a complete KJV Bible-study series examining ten familiar passages that are frequently quoted without regard for their original setting, audience, purpose, or doctrinal application. The essays carefully explain “Judge not,” “I can do all things,” “Where two or three are gathered,” “Ask, and it shall be given you,” “By his stripes ye were healed,” “Touch not mine anointed,” “Where there is no vision,” “If my people,” Jeremiah 29:11, and Romans 8:28. Each study separates popular assumptions from what the passage actually says, distinguishes promises to Israel from doctrine for the Church, and clarifies important subjects such as biblical judgment, prayer, suffering, healing, church discipline, divine protection, national restoration, providence, and Christian contentment. Through close attention to immediate context, historical circumstances, cross-references, dispensational distinctions, and practical application, readers will learn how to recognize verses that have been detached from their surroundings and how to interpret Scripture by comparing Scripture with Scripture. By the end of the series, readers will possess a clearer understanding of all ten passages and a dependable method for studying other commonly misunderstood Bible verses.
