>> The Bible says whatever you want it to.<<

No it doesn’t. It means what it means and it is ours to find with the help of the Holy Spirit to find that truth. I have often found that what someone told me the scriptures say was totally false. Blindly following what someone else says scripture means is dangerous at best.

Putting faith in some organization to interpret scripture is giving up ones eternal future to individuals who may or may not have their best interest at heart. When the Catholic Church develops official doctrine to counter opposition the risk is greater since it’s obvious they haven’t based their doctrine solely on scripture or they would have established that doctrine long before.

If scripture alone is not the standard by which we determine truth we have no firm foundation.

How about blindly following your own ego?

Are you sure that demons don’t help you when you read scripture?

Maybe your reading is not unlike that of David Koresh or Jim Jones.
