We must ever remember that God's Logos was spoken. It is a living Word, not words on paper. We can torture the written word all we want to make it give up meanings that are conducive to our understanding. But God's Logos surpasseth all human understanding. We must stand in His Grace to be One in His Truth.
Or so it seems to me.... FWIW!

God's blessings are just that, blessings. What we do with them can be a blessing or a curse. The same goes for His scriputres.
And truly, words of God have been spoken, e.g. "let there be light." (Gen 1) Indeed, I assert that a thing is true because God speaks it. And words of God have been written:
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. II Cor 2:6-16
