Which scripture? Which Bible? Do you think the differences between the various Christian Bibles is trivial? Are you willing to accept any Bible, from any denomination or translation, including Catholic and Protestant - it doesn't matter?
Of have you decided, upon your own personal contemplation, which Bible you believe is true, and which are false? And how is that not a religion of your own making? Because others agree with you? So the truth is subject to a vote?
We all stand alone before God. We do not do it as members of a church, or a congregation, or a family. We choose our beliefs, and we live them, and we are responsible for them. Even within the Bible you choose for yourself, which you believe is the standard foundation of religion, there is a history of people choosing this instead of that, throughout its history. Did they make their own religion, or were they inspired by God? If I choose this and not that, am I inspired by God? How would you know?
It always amazes me that people are not joyful over finding a path for themselves. No, it's never enough - it's always so important that others be wrong. And what are the accusations? The same as being carried out by the accusers themselves. Incredible.
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” (John 6:45)
Believe as you will, I’ve been “taught of God” and I know there is only one way to salvation. Rather than forging your own path, you would be well-served to find that narrow way.
“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” (John 7:14)
You post as if we don’t have a reliable record of God’s Word. That’s far from true. I totally reject Catholicism. However, despite the subtle misinterpretations in their Bible, the narrow way of salvation is made plain in their text. Sadly, they reject it.
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
