Is Proof-Texting Wrong?

Is proof-texting wrong? Proof-texting is going to scripture with an idea and forcing it into scripture to prove our point. Are we trying to push an agenda or seeking to know God's Will? What is God saying in the passage that you are reading? Today on "Questions Over Coffee," Kevin Smith looks to answer this viewer's question.

We are the Church of Christ in Rock Springs, Wyoming. We know you have Bible questions. We want to provide short, simple, to the point Bible answers to questions like, “Why do Christians worship on Sundays?” or “Can Christians drink?” or “Should Christians celebrate holidays?” Why? So you can grow in your relationship with God and come to know Him better.

Currently, our goal is to post a new video every Monday at 3pm MST.

Dear brother, what you have actually defined sits more along the lines of eisegesis rather than proof texting. Proof texting then would be more defined as the use of scripture without its context in an attempt to validate a point/false argument.
