As most of you know, I just LOVE proverbs of various kinds, and sometimes I write my own.
So, on other forums, I noticed that some people put forward what they call "Proof Texts." :punish:
On the same forums, other are accused of "Cherry Picking." :declare:
I put it all together like this:
"CHERRY-PICKING" - A LIST OF VERSES UPHOLDING A THEOLOGY THAT I DON'T LIKE.
"PROOF-TEXT" - A LIST OF VERSES UPHOLDING A THEOLOGY I APPROVE OF.
Or...you could say it this way: One man's proof-text is another man's cherry-picking. :laughing7:
