At a small group Bible study we were visiting, we were asked to comment on a passage of scripture with the role of men and women in mind. I answered with words straight from the ESV English text of Scripture.
Since the answer was not in the opinion of the leader, I was told, "Sorry to disagree with what you said, but..." It was an amazing display of hubris. I was shamed in front of the whole group.
Theological Hubris: Using Scripture selectively to build up one view which fits the way "I" want life to work.
But am I that different? Do I take Scripture and bend it to form to my god, my view of how he acts or should act? Is it possible I am getting God and life all mixed up?
