One need not be a scholar to understand the scriptures.

No, but the odds of misinterpreting scripture increase without proper guidance. It is so easy to read verses out of context and give them more meaning than was intended.
Or a different meaning altogether. But I've noticed that even those with seminary training revert to proof-texting, and many seminary- and Bible school-trained pastors just parrot what they've learned in school without questioning whether what they've been taught is right. So, "proper guidance" is a bit elusive.
