"It's easy to find individual verses in the Bible, in whatever translation, that seem to contradict other verses. It's also dishonest to so use them."
I'd agree -- does this also apply to the 3 or 4 suras of the koran that the folks here seem to delight in posting daily??
Yes
I'd say that taking phrases and exerpts from anything and using them out of context is a mistake. If done deliberately, it's dishonest.
Doesn't matter what the work is.
