 Back in my day Catholics taught that cherry picking Bible verses was an abuse of scripture. If you are pulling verses for no other reason than to argue with people that was seen as abuse of scripture. Especially if you’re basing someone’s entire salvation on 1 or 2 verses. Abuse of scripture and placing yourself as equal to God in deciding who is and isn’t saved. All around it was considered really really bad.
