Holy Scriptures an Idol?

I love the Holy Scriptures. I beg the Lord to speak to me from His Word. Words I have read hundreds of times in the past will teach me something I missed those 99 times before.

This why I am confused that people will accuse me of making the scriptures an 'Idol'. How can that be?

Do I worship the leather, the ink or the onion paper? No, of course not. But I do worship the Lord who guided the instrument that wrote the Words.

The Divinely Inspired Words were left to us for a reason. It is the 'Sword of Truth'. And many do not like what it really says so they try to interpret it in a way that is more pleasing to the flesh.

So when you refer to scriptures too much, they say, "Oh, you are making an idol of scripture". But if I love my Lord, I will love His Word to me.

I will not add to it. I will not take away from it. I will not say, Oh, this is what I think that verse means. I will say, what is our Lord saying to us?

What is scripture for? Here is what our Lord said:

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. "

2 Timothy 3: 15-17
