Anyone who studies photography knows that when the setting on the camera are not properly adjusted, the picture can come out distorted or blurry. Such is also the case when someone interprets the Bible without looking at the context or ignoring what the Bible clearly teaches in other places.

I always tell my class that everything in the Bible must be interpreted in the context of the meaning of the word(s) used, the verse, the chapter, the book, the Testament and the Bible as a whole. Anything else might be "what it means to you," but most probably won't be what God meant when He wrote it.
