we wrote it. So THAT's why it takes a group to INTERPRET it!

as you listen to me, you get smarter and smarter.....self interpretation of the Bible in Dangerous and highly inefficient.....brilliant people have studied, some devoting their entire lives, to the interpretations of the Bible....I pick a group (the ones who wrote it)try to understand what they say, and go with it....you, on the other hand, pick up a book (Bible), read through it a time or two, and come to the conclusion that you know exactly what the various authors, with various writing styles, writing in various languages, interpreted by various language interpreters know exactly what the authors meant....and condemn others who think (know) that you are in error....O.K. I guess.

“self interpretation of the Bible in Dangerous”

Studying God’s Word carefully to understand it is commanded and commended by God.

FOTFLOL!

Spiritual truths are spiritually discerned.

Fine. Pick a verse and we'll post some links to commentaries and we can compare and see how far off from each other they are.

[daniel1212]

self interpretation of the Bible in Dangerous and highly inefficient. Actually the manner of comprehensive conservative evangelical commentaries (Henry, JFB, Barnes, Clarke, Gill, K+D, etc.) is something unseen in Catholicism, while you own approved commentary teaches a liberal view on the historicity of Scripture.

Meanwhile, the height of individual interpretation in self supremacy is in Roman Catholicism, in which one man can autocratically decree something is Truth, while who can depose him without his consent?

....I pick a group (the ones who wrote it)...

Them guys must be REALLY old by now!

Let's see if I understand the Catholic teaching...

One person canNOT interpret Scripture when led by the Holy Spirit, but a GROUP of these people who can't figger it out by themselves somehow mange to VOTE on what it really means.

Did I state it correctly?
