example of Scripture twisting techniques

I often hear seeker-driven, purpose-driven Bible rapists
abusing the Word of God. So as an example of their Scripture-twisting
techniques which string out of context passages together to teach false doctrine.
I have provided this quick discernment post on how to recognize the mis-use
the Bible to teach non-biblical doctrines.

Satire Sermon Title- Don't be a tree-huger be a tree-hater, like God
Read Isaiah, 2 Kings, Galatians, Deuteronomy & Joshua - that's 5 times
more Biblical passages than a normal Rick Warren sermon.

   So he [Elisha] went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, 
they cut down trees. 
(2 Kings 6:4)

See in the OT Elisha and the prophets hated trees and cut them down. 
 
    For the LORD of hosts has a day
        against all that is proud and lofty,
        against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;
    against all the cedars of Lebanon,
        lofty and lifted up;
        and against all the oaks of Bashan;
(Isaiah 2:12-13)

See even God himself hates trees of all kinds not just Cedars but even Oaks and the Bible is full of His wrath against them; Do what God would do: Cut them, Cut them all, Cut them all down!

    For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”—
(Galatians 3:13)
    
 You shall not defile your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance. Therefore, the body shall not remain all night hanging on the tree, ... for a hanged man is cursed by God.
(Deuteronomy 21:22-23)

    And [God's Judgement on His enemy was done through] Joshua who hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. And at sunset Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city and raised over it a great heap of stones, which stands there to this day.
(Joshua 8:29)

Not only does God hate trees but the OT and the NT teaches that He also hates everyone who plays in trees - so climbing trees and tree houses are Anathema! 


Application:
If you really wanna piss off God, keep on sinning - climbing trees, running around trees, planting trees, and building tree-houses to play in. 

Remember: Sin + trees = Eternal damnation!
