You think the Pharisees weren’t pointing to Scripture when they accused the disciples of “harvesting on the Sabbath?”
Just about every slander leveled at Christ was based in a Scripture reference.
Referring to Scripture means nothing. Rightly dividing it, does.
I’ve seen Protestants here spewing Scripture like they have Tourette’s to sanctify their vanity, but most of the time the citation is so polluted with subtexts and pretexts on how the passage is “supposed” to be understood that they can no longer tell the difference between the word of God and their own preferences.
Sort of like the belief in the bodily assumption of Mary? Or the concept that Mary is the “Queen of heaven”.
Really? Jesus didn't seem to think so.
Matthew 4:1-11 4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
