"I know whom I have believed." -- 2 Timothy 1:12 And I agree with John Knox who clearly stated the problem Rome has in reading the Scriptures with any amount of clarity or discernment since Rome encourages men to presume incorrectly that there are mediators between men and God besides Jesus Christ...
"That God's word damns your ceremonies it is evident; for the plain and straight commandment of God is, 'Not that thing which appears good in thy eyes shalt thou do to the Lord thy God, but what the Lord thy God has commanded thee; that do thou; add nothing to it; diminish nothing from it.' Now unless you are able to prove that God has commanded your ceremonies, this his former commandment will damn both you and them." -- John Knox (Knox, Works, 1:199. Cf. Calvin, The Necessity of Reforming the Church, in Tracts, 1:128-29.) Repent.
Since I don't normally lie with my right hand(I prefer my wife) :), I'll merely have to point back to the fact the Jesus calls His Church the Pillar of Truth and commands us to go to Her for teaching and instruction. Whatever your interpretation of Paul (and I don't read it the same as you - your inclusion of this as evidence of your viewpoint seems to go back to existence of the little voices again), I'll have to go with Christ's words, which are very plain and very direct.
By the way, how about explaining them away, instead of merely ignoring them and/or giving me back duelling verses?
Ashamed of Christianity now, are we? Too proud to kneel? Tsk, tsk. Unbiblical!!!
Duelling verses??? I don't see any verses from you. Just more "magisterium knows best."

Scripture tells us our understanding comes from the Holy Spirit guiding us through Scripture.
"Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." -- 1 Corinthians 2:13 "And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." -- Romans 5:5
