I admit to not understanding much of this...but if a verse or two cannot be taken to meaningfully prove a point (although I think "prove" might be a stretch in any case) why do people quote scriptures at all?

It is like quoting case law- makes me seem really, really important and smart?

But...LH....you said "impossible to take a verse or two and meaningfully prove a point."

So...if it is impossible to meaningfully prove a point....how is it

It's handy to prove points

I am so confused!!!!!

And doesn't "Prove" mean to establish the truth? And how do we establish the truth if we aren't there?

All this proving going on confuses me so.....

edit that to say "Its handy to appear to prove a point"
