Default Are we truly humble?

I am praying the Spirit moves me in the proper way to phrase this without stepping on any ones toes or putting my foot in my own mouth.

I will start this off by saying that I question my own supposed humbleness many times when posting here.

We should all face the fact that none of us has a perfect understanding of the scriptures, we are all guilty of posting scripture, then our personal interpatation of said scripture and saying "This is what the Bible says, so I am right."

We all need to realize that when we do this, the only part that is 100% correct is the scripture itself and not our interpation of said scripture. Our interpatation of said scripture may or may not be correct or it could be partially correct.

We all need to humble ourselves and realize that our interpatation of scripture is that of mere men and that anything short of scripture posted here is the opinions of mere men.

I feel we all need to humble ourselves enough to say "In my humble opinon" this scripture means this and stop saying "This is what the Bible says, so I am right."

The main reason I say this is so often I see folks here getting upset when someone says "This is what the Bible says, so I am right.". To me what this is saying is "You are wrong and I am right."

If I have offended anyone here with what I have said I ask your forgiveness because I am not singling out a single person here, I will be the first to admit that on occasion I have basically said "This is what the Bible says, so I am right." also which shows me just how unhumble I am.
