NO ONE is to interpret the scriptures by private interpretation...That includes you and your popes..

How many hundreds of times have we seen RCs misinterpret this line and fling it at Protestants to support their myopia?

Their church shamefully tells them this verse means men are not to read the Bible for themselves without first going through the organizational bureaucracy of mother Rome, when what the verse is saying is that no man should read into the Scriptures what isn't there and that Scripture alone interprets Scripture, as we are guided by the Holy Spirit and not some pretender to His throne.

The Holy Spirit does not guide various individuals to mutually exclusive positions. That would make the Holy Spirit a liar.

Yet there are various protestants who hold mutually exclusive positions on Scripture, both (all) of whom claim the Holy Spirit as inspiration.

There can only be one truth, and Christ founded the Catholic Church to protect it for us.
