Okay then, Let's just throw Scripture away. Why don't we do that. Let's use only what a bunch of second sons of European Aristocracy have said over the years and see if we can come to agreement there. Oh, but wait! That's already being done.
It doesn't matter what I believe. It doesn't matter how I interpret it. It matters what Scripture says. I do not appeal to myself. I appeal to Scripture. You appeal to the SSOEA. I'll take my appeal to words on the pages of Scripture over your SSOEA any day.
You just did, when you said, "It matters what Scripture says". You just appealed to your own opinion about what matters.
