VERY good point. It’s the old “inductive vs deductive” or “exegesis vs eisegesis.”

Bingo! The modern believer thinks that the Bible is like God's telegraph machine. He or she doesn't seek to grow in grace and knowledge, but get a quick-fix to a perplexing problem and then move on. It really is a disgrace at how the Word is treated.
