>> Aren’t you interpreting scripture and aren’t you a man?<<

Nope, scripture interprets scripture. I don’t.

You keep talking about differences in belief among the Protestants. I would simply ask you this about differences. Do you believe like the Catholic Church that you serve the same God as the Muslims?

What is your extrinsic evidence for this? Show me the verse apart from John Calvin’s Institutes on the Christian Religion, which invented this whole notion.

The Bible is not exactly plain and easy for just anyone.

Explain to me for example why Martin Luther was unbiblical when he taught baptismal regeneration without appealing to the Bible.

We can play Bible bingo all night, but it still comes back to your personal TRADITION of biblical hermaneutics.

When I was a Lutheran, I was taught Sola Scriptura, but our interpretation of the Bible alone was radically different than what Evangelicals believe.

Do you think you are personally infallible when you interpret the Bible?

The Catholic Church venerates those specks of truth and the remnants of God’s original revelation to Adam where they make themselves present.

So the fact Muslims are monotheists and venerate Abraham is commendable, but it ends there.
