Well, this is the relevant scripture:
20 Understanding this first, that no prophecy of scripture is made by private interpretation.
21 For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost.

(2 Peter 1)

Indeed the scripture has its origin in God, but it is given us by inspired "holy men". We are not to interpret it privately. Plain language, folks.

Wrong again, but then that has come to be expected.

Who gets to declare who the Holy men were? When I see people proclaim anti-semites church fathers such as St. John Chrystendom as "holy" men, I cringe.
