"Taking the Bible Seriously" by Charles E. Gutenson (April 2011) was right on the mark. I often see issue groups take the word of God and twist it to serve their purposes. I can only imagine how angry this makes God; I know how upset I get when someone does this to me. Context is all-important when quoting someone.
