I've already answered this but I'll answer it again. It is not *my* personal interpretation of scripture I'm talking about, I'm talking about the consensus interpretation of the Bible-believing churches that the Bible is the word of God, and the plainest doctrines of it are agreed upon by all.
That's awfully circular, madam. It is "the consensus interpretation of the Bible-believing churches that the Bible is the word of God, and the plainest doctrines of it are agreed upon by all." How do you define "Bible-believing churches"? By your own subjective interpretation. For example, you would argue that the Roman Catholic church is not a Bible-believing church. But that is based on what you perceive to be the right interpretation of scripture.
Put differently, your interpretation is in fact only limited to a few Protestant sects, and is not a widely held view in the rest of Christendom. Given that there are various interpretations of scripture, why should we trust your subjective interpretation as being the truth? This is my question to your "Because it's the truth, Paul, because it's the truth." What you really mean is this: "because my subjective interpretation of scripture is the truth, Paul, because it's the truth." But if it's subjective, it's not really true, though, is it?
