In my experience and my observation, those that cannot understand the lines written, or do not like what the written lines say, resort to the reading between the lines to extract what they want the Bible to say.
You posted a verse (
2 Peter 3:16), where it reveals those that were twisting scripture, were doing so to their own destruction.
At least those in that verse were using scripture to twist, unlike what we see here, not twisting scripture, but something far worse, reading between the lines, which is not even scripture.
Well then you might ask is it?
Quite simple. Those that get their inspiration by reading between the lines, are cursed for adding to or taking away from the written word of God.
I have known more than one that have used that strategy to claim scripture in support of their view, and in every case, they are ministers trying to exert their views to manipulate others by claiming spiritual insight, but it is not that at all.
Those that employee that strategy are unworthy of any position in any church except for one, and that would be kneeling down or laying face down before the alter seeking forgiveness for ones error and pride.
