Hi TT,
I am going to be honest here and just so you know this is not getting at you or anyone else. And I may get slated here.
My thoughts are that in the main people are not twisting scripture to serve their own false Gospel.
People are using scripture because they believe in a false gospel, which is what they have heard and been taught.
So to them it's not a false gospel at all but the true gospel.
Just like our gospel is false and theirs is not.
In a sense I think when Paul, John and so on wrote to the churches concerning the false Gospel it was twofold.
Just my thoughts on the following.
Firstly to the believers, do not be deceived and also to those who had been deceived.
This is the truth, anything against that don't listen, those who have been deceived listen, this is the true gospel.
Walk in it, if not you fall foul of the grace of God.

Do you think there may be roots of some kind of thinking that causes one to go foul of truth? I've been kicking this around a bit. Just wondering what you think.
