Forget Rome, I’m going to learn the truths of the Christian faith from the Bible exactly as it interpreted by you, or if not you, by me, or if not by me, by Martin Luther, or if not by Marty, by Calvin, or if not be Cal by the Holy Rollers down the street, or if not by them by the Snake Handlers up there on the mountain, or if not by them by old Beelzebub Herself!

Therein lies your mistake.

You are depending on human interpretations.

You need the Holy Spirit to do that for you.

And, FWIW, you already hove decided for yourself to do your own personal interpretation of Scripture.

How? you ask?

Well, when you read Scripture and decide that someone else’s interpretation is correct and adopt it as your own, you have personally interpreted Scripture and thrown in your lot with Catholicism’s interpretation.

You are STILL interpreting it yourself, even if it agrees with someone else’s. NOBODY can avoid personally interpreting anything. We all do it with everything.

Now that I am back in the saddle, by the grace of God, I also see this reply:

Forget Rome, I’m going to learn the truths of the Christian faith...

not from the institution universally identified as the Catholic Church, with its Satan Council (1962-1965) which transformed it into a Protestant sect. Instead, as said, you and other TradCaths in their various sects and schisms, are in essence acting like Protestant Bible evangelicals as to do, in making the veracity of modern RC teaching subject to your judgment as to what historical teaching meant. Except or the former historical teaching is the only wholly God-inspired, substantive, authoritative record of what the NT church believed, meaning Scripture.
