"God's Word misused?"

The negative; More than you think actually... It has a destructive component when used by the wrong people for the wrong reasons, but that is no reason to reject it. When people take it and twist it for personal agendas it's no good to anyone. What God intends for his Word and what people do with it are two completely different things.

The positive; God does reveal Himself through His Word, and it is nearly impossible to come to a deep understanding of Him apart from the Holy Scriptures. God has magnified Himself through His Word, and enables us to know Him when we read it in a spirit of openness, with no personal agenda, and a desire for the truth.

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

Psalm 138:2
