comment #11 which ignores what Christ Himself said and substitutes Your Own Personal Interpretation of Scripture, an interpretation that intrinsically contains a refutation of a direct quotation of Christ.

You cannot deny words directly from the mouth of Christ Himself as reported in the Bible without believing one of the following things is true:

a) the Bible contains errors, in which case Christ lied because the Holy Spirit did not indwell those led to write the Scripture wherein Christ is quoted,
b) the Holy Spirit could not protect the Truth and His Word from the wiles of Satan and the weakness of men thereby allowing errors to be included in the Bible, in which Christ lied because the Gates of Hell did indeed prevail against His Church by prevailing against His Word even as portions of it were being written down,
c) or that Jesus Christ just told an outright lie.

The only alternative to the conclusion that the cited comment denies the deity of Christ outright is that the comment is based on a belief that Jesus Christ, incarnate in the flesh, God from God, was too stupid to say that He meant. That view, in turn, is just a more subtle denial of the deity of Christ since if Christ incarnate was stupid He could not possibly be The Word incarnate given that The Word is all Truth and all Wisdom, not only a portion thereof. So, even the claim that Christ was stupid rather than a liar is just a more subtle way of denying the deity of Christ and replacing it with the worship of The Most High and Holy Self.

A denial of the deity of Christ is part and parcel of the fantasy of "Scripture Alone" since it is a fantasy that always eventually leads to accepting a heresy within which is a denial of the deity of Christ, whether those who profess "Scripture Alone" realize they're accepting that denial or not. Some such folks have the sort of ego that helps them enjoy rewriting Scripture, even words from the very mouth of Christ Himself, in order feed to ego of the Most High and Holy Self they worship. Others simply do not realize what they're accepting and have been blinded sufficiently to not recognize the heresy intrinsic to what they accept.

In either case:

Titus 3:9 but avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Those who continue to deny the deity of Christ can fool themselves however they like, but they should get used to the idea of hearing, "I never knew you" from the very Jesus Christ they deny is God. Unless and until such an individual surrenders to Christ showing them the Truth in the Scriptures is just throwing pearls before swine.
