Oh?
I would imagine that thousands of sermons preached from this text would have a differing view of the situation.
I don't wish to come across self-righteous or sanctimonious, but if people were a bit more careful and have more fear of the Lord in the way they treat God's Word, we all be better off. Instead of trying to justify positions, it would be far better to examine how the Word, interpreted correctly, can cleanse us.
