There is a difference between subjective and objective reading.
There is a line that is drawn when we say, this text mean’s...
Its okay to say: “This text makes me feel, or I think it means...”
“Interpretation is not our subjective thoughts read into the text but God’s objective truth read out of the text.”
– Howard Hendricks, Living By The Book
“The Bible is the Word of God in such a way that when the Bible speaks, God speaks.”

What does the Bible Really Say?
Money is the root of all evil -
Jesus never claimed to be God -
We are all gods or part of God -
Jesus was just a great moral teacher -
The Bible says that Christians should give away their possessions -
The Bible says that work is a curse -
All religions lead to the same end.
No one religion is right.
