I see the is all of the time. When a Religious person is giving their supposed motivation for talking about Theology, and they state they "Are Letting God's Word/Bible Speak For Itself," you can know they are shining you because:

1.) They still add their own comments and rationale to what the Bible states.

2.) They have canned answers which often do not address your questions.

3.) They talk down to you, and try to control your thoughts. They do not listen.

4.) They speak strange words and terms as if you are supposed to know what they mean.

5.) They are arrogant. Arrogant people do not go to Heaven
