The Scripture Bypass Defense says:

• Scripture does not say what we think it says

• Scripture says what we think it says but does not mean what we think it means

• Scripture says what we think it says, and it means what we think it means, it just does not apply to our modern situation

• Scripture says what we think it says, and it means what we think it means, and it applies to our modern situation, but it is just too difficult to obey so the Holy Spirit lets us out of it
