This does seem to be a prevalent misunderstanding about reading comprehension and the written word. There is no unequivocal way to read the written word. So to assume that the way YOU read and understand scripture is the ONLY and TRUE way to read and understand it is simply not true. To assume that the way YOU read and understand it is the way God intends us to understand it is just arrogant human vanity and hubris. YOU are not God and no one else who reads scripture is. You can find others who agree with the way you read it . . . but that is no indication that it is the way God intends it to be read and interpreted. In any case . . . disagreements about this have nothing to do with brotherly love.

I can say the same thing about you in the opposite. but I'm like our God, Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool".

come lets reason together. and the way one reason is by the scriptures.

If the scripture were wrong, yes. On the other hand a brother of mine might give me a wrong interpretation of scripture and I guarantee I would not follow HIS mistake.

No, the way one reasons is by using his God given brain. The way one supports reason is with reference to scripture, the testimony of saints and the Spirit (a good touchstone is the list of the fruit of the spirit in Galations 5)
