Hi there,
As a former Christian, having read the Old Testament and New Testament to completion and numerous books multiple times, it has always occurred to me that a few Old Testament scriptures that the New Testament says was fulfilled by Jesus or in some other way, seem to have been taken out of context.
Sometimes the writers would quote a single verse from a passage to prove a point and then when going back I would find that the context seemed very different.
In some cases I have found that this was a misunderstanding of the context on my part.
Would you guys say that the NT writers definitely take certain quotes out of context from the OT?

It's those who translation of the Hebrew and Greek or take certain quotes out of context.
Those people who translation of the Hebrew and Greek did the best that they could with what limited tools they had.
Where we today have the technology to do a lot better of a job .
So at least give them some credit for trying to translate the Hebrew and Greek languages
