Comparing them to whose interpretation of the word of God?

LOL. Catholics act like the word of God is written in hieroglyphics or cryptograms or some foreign language.

But Good News! Since 1535 there's been an English Bible, and it's now available for all men to read and understand, by the will of God.

It's just not that difficult.

Unless you're looking to make it difficult and exclusionary by putting up barriers to the clear message of the Gospel -- "Be not afraid; only believe" (Mark 5:36).

If interpreting Scripture is "just not that difficult" then why are there thousands of Protestant denominations, and the one you think has it right (i.e. the Orthodox Presbyterian Church) has only around 30,000 members worldwide, out of about 590 million Protestants worldwide (i.e. roughly .005% of Protestants are getting it right, in your view)?
