Anyone claiming to have the perfect understanding of the Bible, because they are somehow directed by the Holy Spirit, and all others to be wrong (i.e. deficient in Spiritual guidance) borders on full-blown pathology.

In effect they claim to be inspired. So, the proper thing to ask is not "do you consider yourself a Pope" but "do you consdier yourself to be an Apostle?"

I don't see any reason why such a one just doesn't rewrite scripture.

The KJV fabricators rewrote Malachias 1, among many other passages, because it didn't fit with their ideology.

Other books of the Bible they just heaved into the dustbin of history.

What you mean about loving Scripture might not mean what others mean :)

You mean loving all of scripture, Maybe they mean loving all scripture which they have reritten or not thrown away...
