There are numerous fallacious reasoning patterns to which we can all fall prey, seen in a number of incidents recorded throughout the Bible.

If we allow doctrine to be contaminated with man's flawed reason, it will defile the truth. Job's friends used profane sources in their arguments.

Satan champions self-opinion and mob behavior. God's church has never been immune to division because each member has only part of the truth.

According to the Scripture, the count to Pentecost must begin on the day after the Sabbath in the Days of Unleavened Bread, even in 'anomalous' years.

The Pharisees could be considered a casuist, a person who resolves religious or ethical arguments with subtle arguments that are in fact sophistries.

We need to avoid the trap of self-justification, allowing our hasty words to lure us into sin. We must be quick to listen, and slow to speak.
