When you say you trust only the Scriptures, don’t you really mean that you trust only your interpretation of them?
Pardon me, is that not exactly what you believe? Are you sure the people who taught you are Scripture believers. Because the Scriptures and many roman and protestant teaching are contrary to the Word of God and therefore are corrupt. Remember how that at the Lord Jesus first advent, so many dogmatic legalists like the Pharisees, etc. had turned the Word of God into the Word of man as the Lord Jesus warned them in His many warnings. And this just 1500 years after the Word of God given by Moses. Did not the Lord warn the Pharisees that their traditions were contrary to the Word of God given by Moses. Could it be the same today?
The Scriptures warn of such days by Paul the apostle. Search the Scriptures for in them you think you have life and they alone speak of Jesus as God the Father warned at the mount of transfiguration saying;
“This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, hear Him.”
I do not represent protest ism any more then roman Catholicism, The word of God is truth and many who have faith in their denomination as the way will be left behind, as the Scriptures teach.
Wouldn’t you rather trust your own reasoned interpretation of Scripture rather than that of any other man? I certainly would.
