that points the dangers of self-interpretation of the scriptures without a learned leader. If you and 50 other people do exactly as you did, you would have 51 versions of the truth. You have read the bible 100 times...I'm truly impressed because I haven't. The Catholic hierarchy has, however, read scriptures Millions of times and some of the greatest minds in history don't agree with you.
Catholic hierarchy vs Jesus: I will take Jesus.
The greatest minds of Judaism (purporting to have the same promises), were all wrong... and for longer than all y'all.
