I think this is obviously a result of sola scriptura - as noted earlier.

Even the Romanists do not have a single view. The problem is not with the Scriptures. My opinion, based on the testimony of Scripture, is errant translation and/or faulty interpretation, as well as the vista of a man's spirit dead to The God. Of course, it is the fallibility of man coming in when unguided by the Holy Spirit's version of the Scriptures as set down by His vessels. That includes you, and it includes me, and it includes the patristics, and it includes the magisterium of the Romanists. In the end, every one has a slightly different outlook from any other, which will be harmonized by further Bible study and fellowship in Heaven, when rivalry is not an issue and righteousness is the rule. IIRC He honors His Word above even His Name under Whose authority the Disciple's Baptism is administered.

Slightly is a relative term. Sola scriptura is not a slightly different outlook. For starters it is unscriptural - it fails its own test.

Your first choice was to pick a teacher who you approved of because he taught the same unscriptural doctrine. From there the path sways and branches in a myriad of ways.
