And who interpreted your scriptures? That would be you, just a man. So how do you know that you are absolutely correct in your interpretation? When every one else is sure of their own interpretation. Not arguing...just a question

We need not interpret the scriptures, they are for direct reading, and hearing. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

Peter told us that the scriptures are not for private interpretation, and since they are given to all of us, the plain text is obviously the intended meaning unless they indicate otherwise, as in when Yeshua’s parables were preceded by the the warning: “he spoke unto them a parable...”

What you refer to is not interpretation, but manipulation, to make the face meaning of the passage into a lie.

Catholics do this to every scripture they present.
