Narses, old friend!
I have a question I’d like you to answer, if you can do so...
If I believe the same thing that hundreds of millions of other Christians believe, how is that my “own personal interpretation?”
Other than that, the premise of your post is false. We are supposed to study the Scripture to see what it says. We are commanded and encouraged to do that individually.
I look forward to hearing your insightful answer.
Snort.
Can you point to an online “credo” that agrees with your views?
And when others read Scripture and come to different conclusions? By what authority do you claim that your interpretation is the correct one?
