“That was the central reason the Chruch fathers gave us the Bible-to protect the inspired writing from the uninspired.”

He gave us a Church to interpret the scriptures correctly.
He did NOT give us uncountable scripture interpretations and want us to be divided because of it.

No, He gave us the Holy Spirit to lead us to all truths, He gave us His word so we would know what the truth is, and He gave us the church so that we would have fellowship with one another.

Scripture is not that hard to interpret unless one keeps adding all sorts of things to it. Man makes it difficult.
