I'm not sure what you are getting at. What I want to know is the one and only true interpretation of verses that God inspired. And that is what I prayed for about ten years ago and also to wipe my mind of all doctrines of man. He started immediately, and it was fascinating.
R, have you ever studied the 7 letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Now that time has passed and we can look back and see church history we now see that they are three-fold prophecies. One, to the church itself. Two, to people throughout church history that match the type of Christian depicted. And most important, three, they span out church history in order. The last four are actual denominational types of churches. What is disturbing is Sardis. It is right after Thyatira, the Roman Catholic church which is the longest denomination. But what Jesus says to Sardis, the Reformation at the beginning is what I see. Jesus said of those first Reformation church fathers, "you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead." Meaning their new doctrines about sin are man made and can send people to hell who live by them. They were also told to bring the truths from the past (RCC) forward, and they didn't. Instead of the truth of 3,500 years about the two different types of sin in God's eyes, they changed the doctrine about sin to "sin is sin." So instead of God first taking away sin unto death out of our nature, and then finishing with sins not unto death committed unintentionally and continually being cleansed and forgiven, they preach Jesus cleanses all our "past, present and future willful sins." Most don't believe you can commit any sin unintentionally, but that is an Old Testament truth.
