Born a Catholic will die a Catholic and proud to be one.
(my opinion only and mine alone)
The bible is for us to use for guidance, not for interpretation. if you want to interpret it, go ahead but don't force unto other your interpretations.
Below is a good interpolation.
The Catholic church's interpretation of the messages of the scripture can not be wrong. Everyone knows the Bible is riddled with repetitions and contradictions, things that the Bible bangers would be quick to point out in anything that they want to criticize. That isn't my intention at all. I love the Bible I read it often. I just don't intertret it that is the Church's Job! Beyond my pay grade as our future persident says!
For instance, Genesis 1 and 2 disagree about the order in which things are created, and how satisfied God is about the results of his labors. (The truth is GOD CREATED THE EARTH everything.)
The flood story is really two interwoven stories that contradict each other on how many of each kind of animal are to be brought into the Ark--is it one pair each or seven pairs each of the "clean" ones? (The truth there was a FLOOD)
The Gospel of John disagrees with the other three Gospels on the activities of Jesus Christ (how long had he stayed in Jerusalem--a couple of days or a whole year?) and all four Gospels contradict each other on the details of Jesus Christ's last moments and resurrection. (They were teaching different lessons to different people. They are all TRUE but contain error in "facts" for lack os a better word)
The Gospels of Matthew and Luke contradict each other on the genealogy of Jesus Christ's father; though both agree that Joseph was not his real father. Such repetitions and contradictions are understandable for a hodgepodge collection of documents, which the books of the Bible actually are.
