You said: None of us here worships the Bible. We read it! Try it sometime.
I do. In fact the whole Bible with all it’s parts not the diminished Bible, changed to reflect a man-made exegesis. And I read it through the lens of Christ, the Catholic Church, so I don’t meander off into heresy.
The point is, protestants read the Bible and use protestant interpretations that they trust, made by other protestants. Not all of those learned interpretations agree; many disagree strongly. How do they know who to trust?
I just find it hard to believe they read it in the original languages, with full knowledge of cultural and religious meanings and connotations. It makes it hard to take those differing protestant interpretations seriously.
You’d better hope those books of the Bible are truly Holy Spirit inspired.
