As Catholics we are taught that while reading the Bible, we can have “personal revelations”. IOW, God can speak to us, directly through the words of the Bible and speak to us personally in a time of need or just to sustain us, but that that precise interpretation of the Word is meant for us a private conversation with God.

That’s exactly what Martin Luther did! He read “The just shall live by faith” and dumped the mountain of human inventions of Catholicism.
