If everyone is just going by "bible only" do you think it's a problem if people read the same thing and come away with conflicting interpretations?
Like what?
Well just for starters I know there are schisms about how applicable the laws in old testament are, and there are versus supporting both sides of the argument.
And it really just boils down to whatever sect the reader is, or in your case, whatever your subjective feeling is on which side to pick.
For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you (1 Cor. 11:9 KJV).
Heresy/haireisthai/hairein - "to choose"... https://www.etymonline.com/word/heresy#etymonline_v_9184
So all doctrines require consent by choice, while choosing implies heresy...
Approval; commendations, sanctions are given by choice, right?
Don't be shy. Share one example already.
I will wait.

There's a whole wikipedia page on the numerous sects that disagree on that issue dude. If you wanna have an honest discussion we can, but dont waste my time with homework assignments or demands for citations on things that are common fucking knowledge, while you avoid addressing the point that in fact there are differing interpretations of scripture and you've offered no objective method for coming to the correct one.
Filioque.
Moralism aka good vs bad...
The Word and the Spirit always agree. We can have diversity in nonessentials, but if people are contradicting each other they're not in the same Spirit.
I tried to interpret your comment and struggle to decipher your intended meaning.
I don't don't think it gets any easier when the cryptic nonsense was written 2000 years ago by dead authors, who can't take questions.
Start by affirming Truth exists and should be pursued. That means there must be a way to find it reliably despite our faulty sensors. That way is Spirit. It's not enough just to make a factually true statement, it's also necessary not to be using it in a deceptive spirit.
Everyone knows what it's like to speak honestly, they know when someone is speaking in truth and in spirit. Because of this, when we're dealing with truth statements, we can work together pursuing the truth and arrive at the same place because we are pursuing it in the same spirit. That's the resolution of all contradiction.
If there's no Truth to start out with, there's no point in saying or doing anything, because it's the same as not saying or doing. But everyone believes there's a point, so everyone ultimately believes there's a Truth worth working for. When you commit to pursuing Truth, you find it, that's how the universe works. Eventually we find that there's a community of Truth seekers that has greater solidity and history than any other, they have a book they've checked for millennia and found it to have greater communicative value and description of reality than any other, and the independent evidence for this Holy Bible being the book of Truth continues to grow until you see the whole big picture. That's the unity of the good news, everyone comes to the same core message for humanity who looks for it. Remaining disagreements are just about semantics and technicalities. If there's a true binary contradiction between two people, it's because they're not in the same spirit.
If one doesn't affirm truth, then how could others use lies against one?
If life starts at inception, then is there a point of death at the end of ones life sentence?
I did, and I determined that the way to find truth is to demonstrate it empirically, not to merely assert it without evidence.
That is the reason I'm now an atheist, and don't believe god is real at all.
Cool.... Time for you to demonstrate spirits are real now.
How did singular (one) become plural (people) and could that be a problem?
What if a thing can only be different from other things and never the same as?
Can you name two things that are the same without each one being at a different position from one another?
Why is it so easy to suggest "same" while ignoring perceivable differences?
