It's where you parachute down into a passage, kidnap a text, and hold it hostage until it says what you want it to. Then you report your findings to the congregation.......this analogy can go for days I think LOL Ahhh yes, the old Green Beret maneuver.

Once that kind of foundation is established, almost anything goes. In this case, the authors pretty much just picked and chose whatever verses they wanted to use to support their program, regardless of the context.<br><br>A simple examination of the proper context of Scripture easily refutes this type of "two-step". But the problem is that most Christians are not paying attention. They hear something that sounds good or right, and they go no further.

What is a diving board preacher? He picks out a text, jumps up and down on it 2 or 3 times, and launches off into space."
