At first thought, the apostasy of the Church came to mind because of all the rash of weird and unscriptural movements such as the Emerging Church, the Word of Faith, Yoga, and mysticism entering the church.

Morphology
unscriptural = scriptural (transparent) = un + scripture + al
The prefix 'un-' clearly negates the adjective 'scriptural', making the meaning directly derived.
Etymology
Unscriptural comes from un- 'not' and scripture 'religious writing', and it shares the same root as script 'writing'. So, something unscriptural is not supported by those 'holy books' or by religious teaching.
