2 Peter 1:19-21

19 We 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:

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

21 For 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.
KJV
 

Which church has the correct interpretation?

I dont hold to creeds, but i dont disagree with them necessarily. Folks seem to hold a creed as if it were the scriptures themselves. People think creeds help us but how? Look at all the unsound doctrine of these churches, especially the ones holding to creeds. How does a creed help them see their error? It doesnt. The bible is my creed, not just little parts of it. 

The three creeds that I mention were established early in church history and were specifically written to counter heresies that were be advanced at the time. These were laying foundational doctrine of the church like the Trinity and divinity of Christ.

As I was saying in the earlier post, it depends on the error being advanced. Not every little doctrinal error condemns one. We should strive for the best, but a cursory review of this forum, or any church will reveal different interpretations of various matters.

They all claim to be based in scripture.

You have the Scripture to check that with and should have The Holy Spirit to guide you... I suggest you examine the science of interpretation of written material... because it was written to all mankind to come to the one conclusion of God and what He says... Many people go to the Bible to prove what they think or others think but the ones who find their way let the Bible speak for Itself.... God has clearly commended this to us by a group of people:

My personal creed is a relationship with the Lord. Lord help me.

1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

1 John 2:26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

Yes.

If, by using the words "by themselves" do you mean learning in the flesh by the flesh all on their own independent of the Spirit? If so then the answer is, "Yes, some things can be learned that way, but it will be nowhere close to the example established in scripture and it will not lead a fully fruitful life in Christ." 

The same applies even if we include the HS. The fact remains: God uses others! It's isn't just misguided to think we can "learn by ourselves;" it is disobedience. Disobedience is sin. Why handicap oneself with disobedience? How is it imagined learning should happen through disobedient practice?

But im not learning by myself. I follow Peter, Paul, David, James, John, Jude, Jesus, God. (ministry of the Spirit.) I discuss what i read online too, so im not just sitting in a Whyme echo chamber. I do follow the Holy Spirit. All things are mine. (1 Corinthians 3:22) Im blessed. There is simplicity in Christ. There is freedom. Praise the Lord.

 

1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”

 

Psalms 1 Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
    whatever they do prospers.

99I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

Psalm 119

I agree with Whyme in the post above but it’s also good to hear from others but test what they say with the Bible. 

Just my thoughts. Thanks, Frank ??

Do others learn from you? Do they do so rightly or well?

I hope so.but I point to Christ not myself. Right?
