It’s been a while, I looked it up. Very clever. Is this type of cherry picking done in megachurch sermons to propagate the message of supply side Jesus?
I don’t know if quoting a text in context that is aligned with other passages is really cherrpicking. Jesus is very much into revenge on people who don’t follow him. If the man existed, which I don’t think he did, he must have been insufferable.

A narcissist to the hundredth power.

I guess when you are making a religion you have to make sure your literature confidently reinforces that yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory and those other mf’ers can go to hell.
