There are two ways to quote the Bible

  METHOD 1.
When a person uses the word of God to bring forth their own pre-versed significance. Those persons wants to say something of own opinion (to assert their own opinion) or to accuse someone maybe because of jealousy or pride (in most cases if the person is religious he/she will use this method). 



Those persons usually reacts personally and with strong feelings.

METHOD 2.
You quote the Bible to start a digging after what Father is really trying to say to us. Then you put the Bible verse back in the context and you read verses before and verses after, you maybe quote another verse to enlighten context. You ask some brother or sister what they see or believe Father is saying. You meditate and pray over it.

Those persons are usually more focused on meanings and less on feelings or what this specific words means to a specific person.

If someone use "Method one - angry one" with person using "Method two - digging one", then you can not start to dig for meaning of the Gods word it will just end up in mess. The angry one will be irritated about all questions and analyses.

If a person use "Method two - digging one" with person using "Method one - angry one" , then the person who use "Method one - angry one" will feel accused without reason and start to fight.

The angry one will think that digging person is angry, but he is NOT, and digging person will not understand why the other one is angry or maybe not even notice that something is wrong and just dig on.
