Why shouldn't the Bible be looked at logically?

I've been told multiple times that I read too much into the Bible and when I find possible loopholes, that I need to "stop reading it like a legal document". No offense meant, but if it is the Word of God- why wouldn't you want to read it like a legal document? You are signing your soul over to him and wouldn't it be air-tight? No room for misinterpretation?
