This indicates that I do not put myself over scripture. Also he should know that the Bible is not the Word of God, Jesus Christ is the Word of God (John 1:1), which means that Jesus is over the Bible and particularly the OT. When we commit ourselves to Jesus Christ, we commit ourselves to put Jesus first in our lives, and nothing else, even the Bible and in particular the OT can come close.
My commitment is to God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. If one says that he or she accepts whatever scripture says without question, then there is really no commitment to understanding God and the revelation of Jesus Christ.
