In the most recent Banner of Truth magazine (Nov. 2008) we read a story of a discussion between Mary, Queen of Scots, and John Knox regarding the interpretation of Scripture. Mary asked John Knox the following question:
"You [Protestants] interpret the Scripture in one way, they [Roman Catholics] in another. Whom shall I believe? Who shall be the judge?"
Knox answered, "You shall believe God who speaks plainly in his Word. Further than the Word teaches you shall not believe the one or the other. The Word of God is plain in itself. If there is any obscurity anywhere, the Holy Spirit, who is never contrary to himself, explains it more clearly in other places. No one can remain in doubt, save those who remain obstinately ignorant."
