I'm quoting DIRECTLY from the Bible

Quoting from the Bible is not interpretation.

There is no "interpretation issue" going on here.

Because there's no interpretation going on, just regurgitation.

Perhaps another verse from the Bible inspired by GOD could help you out:

That would be the Bible given to the world through the Catholic Church, if I'm not mistaken. But let's not let facts get in the way.

2Tim.3:16

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

It still needs to be interpreted. Latin is a wonderful language, but if you don't understand it, it's worthless to you. If the Bible alone were sufficient, then everyone would come to the exact same conclusions.

I use God as my Authority.

So do I. Teaching through the successor to Peter, not "the Church of 'nmh'".

I'm concerned about your "authority".

Don't bother. She won't fall before the gates of hell.

Have you ever wondered why you find the Bible so offensive?

Please quote where I stated the Bible is offensive.

Frankly I see no need in continuing this exchange.

Because you won't/can't address my questions. Apparently St. Paul is not your kind of Christian, and Jesus was a liar.

You need to calm down and spend some time with His Word.

I'm perfectly calm. I'm not the one having a problem with the caps lock.

I can't force you to acept what God states in the Bible nor can I argue you to eternal life through words.

But but but - I thought all we need is words and we're saved.

Pardon the interruption, but isn't the interpretation, relative to the person doing the interpreting?
