Wresting with the scriptures is a tribulation characteristic but we do see it happening more and more these days, so that ought to tell us something, eh?  I suppose that is why it is becoming so popular to study the Bible today the way they do!  WRONGLY DIVIDED instead of RIGHTLY DIVIDED!  II Timothy 2:15,16 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

• II Peter 3:16 - As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
