Scripture is the Teacher- all the rest is babble.

True enough.
But are we to understand that where Scripture seems to leave plenty of room for more than one interpretation . . .
we should arbitrarily throw our lot in with ONE interpretation because ONE invdividual insists they walk so close to God compared to the rest of us mostly heathens?
or because ONE denomination is simply OBVIOUSLY GOD'S denomination as any TRUE CHRISTIAN knows automatically?
or because ONE denomination has more obsessive compulsive anal retentive 'scholars' in it?
or because ???
I gave up, on "we" a long time past. Follow your heart and do the next right thing- no matter what the lower self, would have you fear. Practical experience is the bouy marker, for my soul's clumsy embrace with honesty. Learning from my dishonest mistakes, has been, the only way for my dumb azz to barely approach truth. Other than that, I cannot answer your questions.
