Now, give me a link to an "authoritative protestant" commentary on abortion, in-vitro fertilization, cloning, gay marriage on which ALL protestants agree.

The request was for a commentary on the BIBLE, not a statement of faith and doctrinal position on current moral issues.

Stop changing the subject and answer the question.

Please show me where the word BIBLE appears in Scripture? Provide me with a commentary on which ALL non-Catholic denominations agree. Is the Bible to be taken literally - "word for word?" No. The Bible doesn't state anywhere that It should be taken literally. The Bible was written by different authors with different literary styles at different times in history and in different languages. Therefore, the writings should be interpreted with these circumstances in mind. The Bible is a religious book, not a scientific or a history "textbook."

Can there be more than one interpretation of the Bible? No. The word "truth" is used several times in the New Testament. However, the plural version of the word "truth" never appears in Scripture. Therefore, there can only be one Truth. Only the Catholic church traces its origins to the Apostles.
