I do want to clarify one thing. Always Catholics read the Bible in the context of Church teaching.

Which is totally backwards. It puts the wrong thing in authority and makes the wrong thing subservient.

Scripture should be read and interpreted in context with itself.

If Scripture appears to contradict itself, then further study needs to be done with it to determine the actual meaning.

The Word of God is Truth. Putting it in second place to anything opens one up to error.

Only truth can be in authority and can be used as authority.

Using Scripture only please prove that the only possible way to interpret the Bible is to come to the conclusion that Jesus is God.
