        Curiously, this is the point of the Protestant traditions Sola Fide (salvation by faith alone) and Sola Scriptura (salvation by scripture alone) which means each parishioner is responsible for deciding what passages are important and how they are to be interpreted.

        But that cuts out the preacherman and makes salvation easy (assuming a reasonable deity) so much of sermonizing is about making Christians feel guilty and uncertain.

        And they really dont like biblical scholars who put in check notions like biblical infallibility, or rightousness of the Hebrews.
