The scriptures are our own story. We are in it. To read scripture as a mere spectator looking on is to miss the keynote. Scripture is our story.

Ummm, no.

The Scriptures are about Jesus. He tell us so, at least twice.

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me(John 5:39)

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27

You are confused. Jesus is God, He has no need for Scripture, we do. It is about His Love for us.

The scriptures are God speaking to us.

Excellent point. Jesus is the main story of the Scriptures. The diminishment of the role of men is a component of the story which men do not wish to hear, and they rage against God. Religions then begin to use even God to elevate men back to Babelian heights; they write themselves back into the limelight. This article is a perfect example.
