WHY are all the Protestant "truths" (interpretation of scripture which lead to doctrine) different if they all have the same Holy Spirit guiding them?
"protesting catholics" first began reading the Bible as it reads instead of bending it "as some traditions demand" and found that the RCC was in some cases teaching error.
So then "agreement" among protestants in general on "sola scriptura" and "saved by grace through faith"
Jesus hammers the tradition of the one-nation-church-magesterium of his day - "sola scriptura"
Mark 7
7 ‘But
in vain do they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’
8
Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to
the tradition of men.”
9 He was also saying to them, “You are experts at
setting aside the commandment of God in order to
keep your tradition. 10
For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother, is to be put to death’; 11
but you say, ‘If a man says to
his father or
his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given
to God),’ 12 you no longer permit him to do anything for
his father or
his mother; 13
thus invalidating the word of God by
your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
Luke 11:
27 While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “
Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” 28 But He said, “
On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”
You are changing the words of scripture to force-fit it into your agenda. The Greek for your "on the contrary" is
Μενοῦν which means
"rather", as translated in Strong's
3304 [e]. And found in 27 Bible translations. "contrary" is found in only 8 modern translations, a departure from the KJV.
Good thing the Bible was not written in "KJV"
NASB tends to be more accurate.
The point remains.
