>> Whether they accept it or not is their business but their not accepting it does NOT negate the truth of the Scripture as given us by Jesus.
Of course, but what I’m saying is that when two people read a verse of Scripture and one understands it to say one thing and the other person concludes it is saying something quite different, at least one of them have it WRONG. And, possibly BOTH of them have it wrong. You, for example, probably THINK you know exactly what is meant by every verse you read, but other readers may disagree with what you think you know, AND for all you know they may be right and you may be wrong. What you should think about is that there are Bible “scholars” who spend their lives “searching” the Scriptures and completely disagree with one another on what the meaning of various verses actually is.
That does not negate or invalidate the statement made in Scripture that the Holy Spirit will guide believers into all truth.
And I don’t care is someone is in the Who’s Who of Bible Scholars. They can be just as wrong as anyone else if the Holy spirit is not guiding them. Just because they are *Bible Scholars* does not mean the Holy Spirit is involved in their studies.
FWIW, every person on the planet has their own personal interpretation of Scripture, even Catholics who claim that they follow the Church’s. They have decided to let someone do their thinking for them and accept what is handed to them as right. In the end, it’s STILL a personal decision by the individual of what is truth and what it not and what it a correct interpretation and what is not.
