Editing Scripture while you read is eisegesis. It's not just twisting words. It's questioning God's motives so you feel licensed to override them. "Did God really say?" becomes "God couldn't have meant that." Watch for it when a verse says God regretted, relented, or didn't know something, and your instinct is to translate it into something safer. Same when "all" or "every" gets quietly narrowed until it means some. The test is simple: does your reading make the text say less than it says? If yes, you're not interpreting. You're protecting something.
