No you are not relying on the text. The text concludes logically that the Lord did way more than an introduction. You are an example of the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law.I am relying on what the text says. You quoted Amos (IIRC) and drew conclusions from it, but none of what you read into it was in the text. If you want to rely on your fanciful interpretation and your personal sensibilities then you can claim whatever you want and support it by some invention regarding how you interpolate your own ideas into the text.
If you took any reading class in English you were required to explain what you read means. If Moses spent 40 days, came down twice with the commandments and laws, you have to logically conclude they talked about a lot of different things. Same with Abraham and other prophets.
