No.
The scriptures are indeed the work of the Spirit, but which is superior, the words spoken with authority, or the one who gives those very words authority?
The answer is obvious. The scriptures and the spirit work as a map and a compass. Yes, we do need both. But the error is in claiming the the scriptures actually quicken and give life! If it were so, the most spiritual person would be the one who reads the scriptures the most, yet Peter became the great spiritual man, while the Pharisees were carnal.
The Spirit quickens. The reason you fight this is because you do not have understanding of the working of God in us and work according to a carnal system.
