It's funny how Christians pick and choose through this text. Highlighting what they like and subverting what they don't.

I'm not accusing anyone (and specifically not the poster of this note. Please don't read what I didn't say.) I'm not accusing anyone of this, it's just something I've noticed. Christians should strive to be consistent.

If I had a top ten list of abused scriptures, this would be one of them.

Feel free to add the parts you think important. The very next bit is pertinent, too.

Titus 1:10-16: "For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, especially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate."
