Scripture is the final authority.

Scripture interpreted according to whom? We cannot put Scripture in the dock and ask it which interpretation is correct.

As far as what I say, I state my position and appeal to Scripture as the final authority to back it up

And another appeals to Scripture as the final authority for a different view. Now what?

>>Scripture interpreted according to whom?<<

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16,17

Well, if interpretation is so unreliable, so is the Catholic church’s.

It is no more valid than any other interpretation. Might doesn’t make right and truth is not determined by consensus. Therefore, for all it’s claims to give itself authority, they are just as meaningless as you claim mine are.
