Scripture, the word of God, is what I base my beliefs on.

I guess it never occurred to you that your interpretation of Scripture is flawed, distorted, twisted, incomplete, and erroneous in almost every way.

Protestants never do seem to consider that, when they play high and mighty and beat their breast and pledge allegiance to Scripture.

That's why there's one Catholic Church and 27,000 Protestant ones.

Guess not. Jesus Christ creates certain feast days and says to observe them. I observe them. Stupid me.

I don't consider myself a protestant, but rather a first century Christian. As far as scripture, I find that a proper interpretation can only come about when Christ opens our minds:

Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,

2Ti 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness

I would much rather put my faith in Christ and the holy spirit and study of scripture than thousands of years of traditions and thousands of opinions of man. That's what Judaism had done up to the time of Christ and look how messed up they got it.

Yeah, and y'all are all doing something different and believing different things. One bishops allows homosexuals, one doesn't. Some catholics practice birth contril, some don't. Some believe in Limbo, then they change it. The list goes on and on.
