Of course not, but if you are a Christian can't you see what it does
mean *not to be able* to read the Word of God for oneself?
How does one read Jesus of Nazareth who is the "Word of God" according to
John 1:1?
The Bible ...[is] ... a collection of human responses to God (very human,
some of them all too human), which we are at liberty to use in the process
of formulating our own individual, unique response to God. We don't do that
by imitating these responses slavishly. I mean God, if he exists, doesn't
want innumerable clones of the apostle Paul. He wants us to respond to him,
each of us in our own unique way. And we can use the Bible to do that, but
we don't do it by obeying it slavishly and blindly. - Peter Cameron
