These are just two of the many examples I could give. Many Protestants insist beliefs must be Biblically-based to be true, but when confronted with Scripture verses which directly contradict their beliefs, refuse to conform their thinking to what Scripture actually says. I just find Protestant theology to be totally disingenuous.

In defense of Protestants who may act in this manner, I think that Catholics tend towards a more contextual and holistic approach, whereas Protestants tend to focus on phrases that have been taught to them first.

What I find most frustrating is that some saying that they aren't interpreting Scripture, but just reading what is said. Interpretation is inherent in reading. We learned that in what, 2nd grade?

Yep, from a former teacher.
