Let's be frank, your interpretation of scripture sucks. So does mine.
We are thousands of years removed from the writings themselves, and we don't speak the languages they were written in. So does that mean scripture is useless? Does that mean we can never understand it or Plumb its depths?
No. Of course not. However, when reading scripture we have to be careful that we not twist it out of context and 2000 years remove the single greatest way to do that is to read it in the context of the living tradition of the church which is safeguarded those scriptures, including their Cannon which is itself a part of tradition, for those two thousand years.
