I make every attempt at authenticity, which is not the same as infallibility. The faith of the Church, not any sect or denomination, is the guarantor of authenticity. It is not the province of any individual.

I study to show myself approved before God as a workman who need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth according to the gifts and abilities that the Lord has given me. When I don't know a definite interpretation I present the various interpretations that I am aware of and leave it to the person I'm sharing with the option of praying about it and having their own opinion about what the most likely interpretation is.

there is not any interpretation mandatory. We in uncomplicated terms ought to learn the Bible with an open strategies. The Bible improve into Written To Be Understood * Deut. 30:11-14 the be conscious isn't out of attain. * 31:9-13 to be study to men, women people, toddlers each seven years, a lasting technique * It improve into to all Israel: smart, dumb, conservatives, liberals * people who did no longer comprehend it have been predicted to benefit it Luke a million:a million-4 Luke intently investigated the existence of Jesus which you will desire to comprehend the actuality of the flaws you have been taught. * 2 Cor. a million:13 Paul wrote no different ingredient yet what you may comprehend. * Eph. 3:3-4 Paul wrote so as that "you may comprehend once you study." * a million John 2:21 John pronounced Christians can comprehend the fact and can distinguish a lie.

The Holy Ghost through Prayer.
We must Pray and ask the Holy Ghost to reveal the Truth of scripture to us. Not our (private) Interpretation.
2 Peter 1:19-21 (King James Version)

19We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

not i. It is the Holy Spirit that gives understanding...in all things true. 2000yrs ago Jesus authorised a Church to interpret His will and promised Her the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit until His return. Only the Catholic Church therefore can rightfully claim authentic interpretation of Scripture...if you are in line with Her teachings then you are definitely on the right track

Important point number one; all the scriptures were written by humans, just like us. Many writers with their own personal agendas, just like many of the preachers today. Therefor, yes, by their very nature the scriptures are infallible.

Authentic? Infallible? Authorized? Thank the gods there is no such thing.

Everyone is free to interpret any scripture any way they please. Just do not expect to escape debate and criticism.

Huh.

All are fallible but ONE, Jesus Christ.

I can only do my best and listen to His voice, the Word of God.

Truth rings like a bell within your being.

Not everyone hears His voice but only reads text.

Joh 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Joh 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

His Word is His Spirit and truth.

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. John 14:26
I am not but the Holy Spirit that is inside me is.
