There is a very unfortunate modern Christian narcissism, encouraged by topical sermons (”what does the Bible say is the secret to __________”) to study the Word from the wrong point of view. We don’t study it as a value in itself but for what our immediate payoff is. That’s tantamount to using it as a ouija board.
VERY good point. It’s the old “inductive vs deductive” or “exegesis vs eisegesis.”
