Everyone keeps talking about the plain meaning of scripture, but they all come up with something different.
I haven’t got the time, knowledge or confidence to interpret the scripture for myself, I’m only a fallible garden contractor. I identify more with the sheep type of thing, trusting Infallible shepherds to guide me through.

I don’t reckon sheep were meant to shepherd themselves. And I could not follow my nose like a hegoat, there’s just too much ego in hegoats .

The other thing I would worry about is if I did interpret my own fallible teaching from scripture, it could be wrong and someone follows it to their destruction. I can’t handle that kind of responsibility.

Knowing my luck I could dive into a barrel of teats and come out sucking my own thumb. It’s all way too risky thinking about it, the land flowing with milk and honey, not by following my fallible nose.

Besides I could abandon Catholic interpretation of scripture, follow my own interpretation of scripture, and you could still call me a heretic.

Am I overthinking things.


YOU NAILED IT! EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD COMES UP WITH DIFFERENT 'PLAIN MEANING OF SCRIPTURE'. ALL SAYING THE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD THEM TO 'THE TRUTH'. IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SCHIZOPRENIC?

You make a good point. And that's happening right now all over Protestantism with the homosexual issue.
