Isn't that exactly how you Protestants treat the Bible? Get ten Protestants in a room, give them one verse and you'll get eleven interpretations!

Sola scriptura leads to SOLO scriptura -- unlike the Church where we read the debates put over the centuries by the Church fathers and we see more sides to it than we can imagine as single beings.

Remember that the Church is a community and also that God is too immense for one solitary person to understand

LOL

Cronos, isn't it funny, that the term Sola Scriptura is not found in the bible?

I'm not a protestant.

Yep, usually.

As I said, good teachers are needed, but scripture cannot be understood except under the guidance of the holy spirit.
