This reminds me of a lesson. Some students at my Bible School were convinced that the Bible could guide them privately each day. They would take the book and randomly open it at a page, in either the Old or the New Testament and then do it again to get their daily message. My theology professor, Rev Dewy, once demonstrated: he opened the Bible and read “and Judas hanged himself” then he opened it to another page and read “do so likewise”.
Yes, context is everything.
