Not at all.

How does Reproof "the act of criticizing somebody for having done something wrong, or something said as a rebuke" Mean to study?
The Bible is not subjective, but those with false motivations, make it so! If anyone, and I mean anyone, who read and studied the Bible in the plain words that it speaks, then you and I would not be having this conversation. In other words, the core fundamentals would be embraced--as such it does--but peripheral aspects of Scripture would be debated. This occurs today, and their is nothing wrong with that! Why? Certain aspects of Scripture are "out of focus," but not the basics--the core fundamentals!! So... for a person (or group of people to claim) that Jesus is not the Messiah, is completely unbiblical. Why? The Bible does not support it, and if you have read the entire Bible--even the New Testament--you would agree, whether you prescribe to the message or not. The Bible does not require a rocket-scientist to understand it.

What does this have to do with studying the Bible (without biases)?
