Cheryl,

I understand that you are busy, that is fine.

I agree with you that context is important, but the question remains- how far do you take it? To me the context is the whole Bible. Does the verse or the passage contradict the rest of biblical teaching. None the less i look forward to engaging with John 6- it’s a great chapter.

I have to disagree that you don’t proof text. For example you have often cited Hosea 6:7 without ever relating to it’s context in the book of Hosea. You have just used it as a ‘proof’ text to support your notion of only Adam being in rebellion and not Eve. In fact even in this post you quote stand alone verse not addressing the context in which they lay. You have by definition done the opposite of what your apologist friend says. So let me say again- we all proof text.
