Scripture Twisting - 2Pet. 3:16

"Some of his comments are hard to understand, and those who are ignorant and unstable have twisted his letters around to mean something quite different from what he meant, just as they do other parts of Scripture--and the result is disaster for them." 2Pet. 3:16

This makes me think of out modern day cults, Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses specifically. Instead of digging deep into Scripture for what GOD'S intended meaning is, they change the verses and even add whole books to Scripture so that it reflects what THEY want it to say. They knowingly ignore the warnings about adding to, deleting from, or in any way changing the Word of God--and as John indicates, the result is disaster for them.

Jesus, I pray for my friend John. He is so deep into his beliefs that it would take a real miracle for any change to take place. But you are the "God of the last minute." You can make ANYTHING happen, and if I am to have a role in this please make it clear what that is.
