And the time he was stoned was over a disagreement on what exactly constituted a DOT legal tire cut.

Well...it could have been drug use...but I don't think Paul was into that stuff.;o) Course, you know baseball was mentioned - "In the beginning (big inning)..." and tennis - David said he "served in Saul's court." There are many more like that and does, in a humorous way, show how the Bible can be "tweaked" to say just about anything.

Heeheehaha! Yeah, I heard about that match! Wasn’t it Saul one, David Love? I heard David went on to win the title after a surprising upset. I tell you, that boy could send the ball right between the eyes!

Totally agreed on the Bible tweaking. Remove the context and you can distort all kinds of things out of it. For example, many times the Bible states that Christ is the Rock. But if that is ignored, then one could build a whole edifice around one intentionally misunderstood verse.

Anyway, you’ve heard about “The Ashes” by the alter right? But what the Bible doesn’t tell you is that they came by way of a googly zooter round the wicket.

e.g. . . . ? . . .

Cherry picking verses like . . .

Judas went and hanged himself . . .

Go thou and do likewise . . .

Whatsoever thou doest, do quickly . . .
