Selective Bible reading, or "cherry-picking," involves choosing certain verses or passages that align with personal beliefs while ignoring others, often leading to an imbalanced view of scripture.
**Disadvantages of selective reading of the Bible

1. Loss of Full Context
   Verses gain meaning from the chapters and books around them.
   Reading in isolation risks misinterpretation or twisting the intended message.
   Example: Quoting “Judge not,..."(Matthew 7:1) without the surrounding verses misses the teaching about righteous discernment.
2. Distorted Theology
   Selective reading can lead to emphasizing only comforting passages while ignoring challenging ones.
   This creates an incomplete picture of God’s character; love without justice, grace without accountability.
3. Weak Spiritual Growth
   Growth comes from engaging with the whole counsel of Scripture (Acts 20:27).
   Avoiding “hard” or “boring” sections means missing lessons on endurance, obedience, and wisdom.
4. Risk of Confirmation Bias
   People may only read verses that support their personal opinions or lifestyle. This turns the Bible into a tool for self-justification rather than transformation.
5. Neglect of Balance
   The Bible contains history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, and letters; all serving different purposes.
   Selective reading ignores this diversity, reducing the richness of God’s Word.
6. Potential for Misuse
   Cults and false teachers often rely on selective verses to manipulate followers.
   Whole-Bible reading helps believers recognize and resist such distortions.
7. Missed Encouragement
   Some overlooked passages carry deep comfort and guidance.
   For example, genealogies or laws may seem dry but often reveal God’s faithfulness and care for detail.

Some of the questions interviewers ask wueeh!!... moreso male centered interviewers! Been listening to peoples experiences and atp i think if I get there I might just walk out middway the interview

I think everything gets into place when handled calmly!!
Everything beyond your control, you're not worry worrying about it!
Live in the moment and avoid being anxious about the future!...Someone said we could be worried about the future we're not even part of and that was so real! bitter truth!
We can plan but let not our plans overwhelm us and take us out of character
Let us practice the art of being still knowing eventually everything will fall into place .

Do you believe God punishes evil people??Akiii not to judge but some that are outrightly evil are really thriving Is it that we're awaiting judgment day to pay for our sins or That they repent ? Coz even us sometimes God just comes for you so big when you know you didn't even deserve it due to sth bad you did I mean you awaited karma but God showed up real big...Is it the God forgives 72*7 ?

😂mnirushie mawe nitajenga lakini you will never convince me after divorce men and women are equal. Women have a lot to lose e.g many women sacrifice career to raise children and even just family responsibilities and a lot which goes beyond money 😭so I feel dowry refund is bad law . Men just walk away freely and financially compensated while the woman leaves w extra burden…
Also , Alimony should be mandatory not discretionary 😭
