a few texts

A few? Did you really read everything at the links I posted and see only a few? That's not true, not even an honest attempt.

your idea of interpreting scripture?

The catechism is a longer form and the creeds the shorter of the most basic and fundamental Christian faith, the most basic statement of what the Christian's believe and the meaning of Holy Scripture for the vast majority of Christianity, Catholic and not, for many many centuries. If you wished the most concise summary of the Christian interpretation of Holy Scripture, here it is:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary , and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

nobody ever said that Protestants ever claimed infallibility for their Bible commentaries...

Just each individual then? Is your commentary infallible or not?

ROTFLOL! Talk about the tendency to take things out of context! Good grief. You include a quote from another post in an answer to my post. It was not I who had this in the post you responded to.

>> nobody ever said that Protestants ever claimed infallibility for their Bible commentaries...<<

LOL That was a quote from someone else’s post altogether. Good grief!
