That is why private interpretation is not a good thing.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you al all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you ye shall abide in him.

Look this passage up too. "But how can I know unless some man teach me?" If the passage applies as you think it does then there is no need for pastors. You could just pass out bibles to Christians and everyone would understand them and agree on everything. But we know that the apostles appointed teachers to follow after them. We know those teachers were men. And we know that teaching continues after conversion and annointing. If your pastor has to consult another pastor over a certain passage does that mean he does not have the Holy Spirit? I do not presume to understand everything in the bible. I guess you do.
