Why is it a sin to interpret Scripture for personal ideas?

Interpreting Scripture according to personal ideas is labeled as hermeneutical eisegesis, and it is deemed a serious sin because it alters the intent and message of God's Word. As described in the sermon, this practice often leads to falsehood, as one's imagination in understanding Scripture can overshadow the actual text. The danger lies in how such interpretations can distort the truth of the Gospel and ultimately lead to spiritual destruction. The Word of God stands as an absolute truth, and to manipulate it according to human opinion undermines its divine authority. Therefore, Christians are called to faithfully present the Scriptures as they are, without distortion, honoring God’s Word and its finality.
