You have Scripture and hundreds of millions of protestants each with their own separate but equal personal interpretations of what that scripture means, each acting like their own little gods who know better than anyone what scripture means.

I'm not sure you understand how this protestant thing works. Sure, some believe in the anything goes, personal interpretation, what the words says to me today approach.
Others are part of a disciplined group of believers who are members of declared synods: people who walk together in faith. As part of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, we hold that Scripture is the supreme Truth and the Book of Concord is in complete agreement with that Truth.
Members of our synod are not free to interpret any verse in any way they see fit. If their interpretation disagrees with our confessional documents, their errors will be shown in scripture. If they maintain their error, pastors can be removed from office, while a member of the laity may be refused communion if the error is grave enough.
Reading or listening (highly recommended) to Scripture YOURSELF, day after day, will help you understand what it MEANS.
This assumes you are a believer in Jesus Christ and have been given the Holy Spirit and have your ear inclined to Him. He reveals Himself to babes, no scholarship required (though not bad in itself, scholarship puffs up many).
If the above is true of you, you can be shown what correct interpretations are by the Lord. Yes, he uses other believers in our lives, but the idea that you cannot seek God YOURSELF and get real truth from Him is plainly false.
Seeking Him in truth should have alarm bells going off in your spirit when someone claims to be channeling a message from Christ’s earthly mother. Knowing His word will enable you to see clearly the Serpent behind the coy channeled messages, too.
So stop criticizing “Protestants” for seeking to know Him through Scripture and try it out for yourself. If you find in HIS word a blazing expose of the falsehood of your church’s teachings then have the integrity before God to challenge and refuse any such teachings.
2 Tim 2:15 seems like a good place to get resolution to this problem - if it exists. Right division is the key. You have to WANT to understand the entirety of the Word. Picking and choosing what to hang onto and ignoring the other part of "All" brings on heresy.
2 Tim 3:16 is also a benefit to learn the purpose of studying and knowing God's Word. There's a list worth memorizing!
Isn't God's Word AMAZING?? It has everything you need - Right There!
