***The sola scriptura answer is simple:
1. how do I know I interpreted scripture correctly? Answer: Because that’s the gift of the Holy SPirit for anyone and everyone to interpret scripture. Of course, my interpretation is the correct one, though....***

Let’s compare and contrast e.g. Piper versus Schuller (both Presbyterian), or Hagee versus Graham. It boggles the mind that they all can fit under one umbrella.

***2. Well, my sola s belief is the same — look, let me quote random passages from The Bible. The Church was wrong for 2000 years until I came along.***

Yes. Everyone in his own armchair on Sunday mornings is his own Pope and, given the appropriate quantities of adult beverages, is fully competent to interpret Scripture on his own.

Of course, but they are both sola scriptura -- the angels told them what to think and they were taken by The holy Spirit. SO what if they thought differently, there are different ways to God --> no, wait... each of those are correct, but anything by The Church is wrong...
