....”What I’m trying to point to is the ‘limited utility’ of the Holy Scriptures ‘if they are not illuminated by God’s Grace’, through the action of the Holy Spirit.’’’’ Without that, the Holy Bible is a dead letter.......................
Which is to say that “sola scriptura,” unilluminated by the power of the Spirit, comes close to bibliolatry — worship, not of God, but of a text which has been drained of its Spirit.... It might as well be an ordinary user manual, or a cookbook, or a scientific text.”....

Now I understand and agree.
Thank you for clarifying this.
