and others are wrong in their interpretation of the Bible, especially other Christians who don't belong in your belief-system, like the Catholics and other mainline Protestants, like the Anglicans?
since all of you claim you're following the Bible, who among you are right?

they think they're right because they "feel' they're right
feelings are only that feelings, they have no bearing on reality.

I'm Roman cath and had the sunday school, communion, confermation, the works, i even have a cousin thats a priest and i have always taken the bible as lessons to be used in life and not literally. The bible is comprised of books written from documents found or by stories told around campfires.
But to answer your question. If you handed out a book to ten people then the next day ask them what it is about you will get kinda the same answer but a little diffrent from each person. The same thing happened with the bible just on a much larger scale.

If I was always right, That would be great, but no, I am not. As I read the word of God, yes the Holy Spirit will reveal what I am supposed to get form the scriptures. But bare in mind most disagreements are irrelevant. They have NOTHING to do with salvation. They are just details of everyday life. People just can not get along. Just like in everything else, some will support the war, some don't some support the government some don't. Some like fords' some like chevys. Its just the way it goes.

The Bible addresses this point. The Apostle Paul told us to avoid divisions based on debatable issues and to check everything against the Scriptures. Those Christians who follow those two principles can function in unity as the Body of Christ without letting differences in personal understanding getting in the way.
Hope that helps.

Why don't you read The Bible and ask for The Holy Spirit to assist you in the interpretation? If you have any doubts no one will be able to help you but God HImself as He clearly states that it is up To The Holy Spirit the conviction of sin, righteousness and judgment.

We aren't saved by perfect understanding of a doctrine.
The Bible tell us to "live up to what you've attained" .and he'll (the Holy Spirit) will lead us to more truth as we diligently seek Him in the Word.
If we did have perfect understanding we probably wouldn't need a Savior.
The greatest gift from God isn't knowledge (which puffs up)
but love (which builds up) The Holy Spirit pours it into our heart! Romans

the one who has it rite will line up with the hole Bible i will admit that i read scripture and form an opinion on something and i discuss my opinion with many of my brethren and if I'm wrong they will show me by using scripture not just one scripture but all scripture. so if i told you i think that this scripture means this and you where to tell me no i think you have it wrong and you show me by using scripture that i am wrong then i will listen and learn from scripture.

Well, the sacrifice was finished when Jesus died, but in fact the atonement wasn’t, quite. There was one more thing that needed to happen, to seal it tight, finish it off, show that it was complete and accepted by God. That thing was the Resurrection of Jesus.
