“You’re own personal interpretation of Scripture, which violates Scripture itself:”

When you stand in the court of heaven on that great day of judgment, you will stand alone. Your popes and priests won’t be there to hold your hand. That you relied on their teaching won’t be a defense. You had better understand God’s way of salvation from Scripture for yourself. Eternity is too long and hell is too real to place your complete trust in any man.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” —Ephesians 2:8-9

“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”—Romans 3:20

Why is your personal interpetation of scripture superior to the churches interpretation?

The bible does not say that we are supposed to interpret scripture ourselves (sola scriptura) The bible DOES NOT SAY that anywhere!! Timothy does tell us to hold fast to the traditions handed down - the opposite of interpreting for ourselves.

The every man for himself position creates chaos and incoherence.
