There are at least 6 ways to mess up scripture.

One, adding to the word of God

Two, subtracting.

Three, interpretating something to be figurative when it is literal

four, interpretating something literal when it should be interpretated figuratively

Five, dropping the context.

Six, not obeying the truth that has been already revealed to you. (See Ezek.14:4)
