Please tell me what this personal interpretation of scripture is.

We are saved by grace, through faith, for works. Pretty easy to understand. This is not an interpretation of scripture. This is the essence.

The Catholic Church is fallible. The Pope is fallible. God is infallible. The Word is infallible. Pretty easy to understand.

So now you have a catchy acronym: Yopios. Very cute, but no substance. You are still misguided.

My favorite is the transubstantiation. I can see the swinging watch; hear the hypnotic voice. “Your senses are lying to you. There is no bread; there is no wine. There is only body and blood. Believe in the Catholic Church.” This is the most ridiculous thing every. I do believe that the body and blood are present, but so is the bread and the wine.

Didn’t the Catholic Church also say that the Earth was the center of the universe? I can hear the hypnotic voice again. “Your science is lying to you. The Earth is at the center of the universe. Believe in the Catholic Church.”

You guys crack me up. I believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I do not believe in the Catholic Church. My faith is built on the rock; belief in Jesus. My faith is not built on a religious institution created my man.

Yes, you'll see the acronym YOPIOS pretty often around here. That odd since the Catholic church has only infallibly interpreted a handfull of scripture passages. However, facts and logic don't set well with these folks.
