I think that the danger is that too many people overlook the human elements of Scripture.
I suppose there is a danger in overlooking the human nature of Christ also; but there are some who worship Christ by making pictures of His human nature as if it possessed a life of its own. Some likewise allow their interpretation of the Bible to be unduly influenced by the consideration of its human characteristics as if these contributed a meaning all on their own. WCF 1:4, the authority of the Holy Scripture, for which it ought to be believed and obeyed, depends upon God, the author thereof: and therefore it is to be revered because it is the Word of God.
