The Bible was written for people to read, and then comprehend what it specifically says. God did not write His Words in Scripture for people to use as a launching pad for divergent discussion.
1.) Yes, all of Scripture is inspired by God, but no place in The Bible can be correctly read to say "Scripture inspires people." The Holy Spirit inspires/moves Prophets, not Scripture.
3.) Scripture is not given to stimulate our imaginations. Within The Bible, the words "imagine/imagination" occur 35 times, being translated as such from 12 original Text words. All but one of those mentions of "imagine/imagination" clearly describe it to be either "evil," or "of the Devil." Check this for yourself. God clearly is stating human imagination is corrupted.
3.) Failing to read Scripture using the correct definitions of the words is a huge error. The error occurs when the meanings of words are shaved and turned by an individual who claims to be identifying some intricate little "sense of the passage" which then requires from him some long, tricky explanation to be seen.
Preachers are well trained in this technique of customizing the Text for their preferred ideology. They then confidently declare "We must let God's Word speak for itself!" As if they are able to "let" God's Word do anything by means of their personal permission. They often make this statement using a sincere and contemplative look on their face.
4.) No place in Scripture has any two people disagreeing upon then intent and significance of other parts of Scripture. Nobody is shown to be saying, "Well, this is what it is saying to ME."
God's Word is about stark reality. It is not about emotionally sensitive little uncertainties, or about "things which just might be." It describes itself as "Quick, Powerful, Sharp, Piercing." (Heb. 4:12) There is nothing there about humans "letting" it do anything. Christ never "discussed" God's Word. He declared it, demonstrated it, and demanded it to be done. Jesus never chatted about it.
