Well since I believe that interpretation of scripture belongs to God, because the scriptures say interpretation belongs to God, I'm going to believe the scriptures interpret themselves. It's true that the True God YHWH uses humans, but true interpretation of scripture doesn't find its source in the expressed opinions or interpretations of humans but true interpretation of the scripture, originate with God. This is why Peter was inspired by God to write at 2 Peter 1:20,21, which says, "For you know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit."
Everything we read and see first goes through our minds, which makes it impossible for us to not interpret the Bible. Everything gets filtered through all of our individual and cultural experiences—what we’ve been taught, the environments we grew up in, level of education, type of education, etc. Not to mention that even the process of getting, for example, an English translation requires the translators to make numerous judgement calls, and even then, there are some passages which they don’t know how to properly interpret. So, before it even gets to the layman, it’s already been sifted through the minds of others.
But today I can see for myself even if the majority disagree, that too many human beings are interpreting the scriptures by astute deductions.
We should be using deduction. God is logic and as beings made in his image, we also have the ability to reason. It is how we make sense of things and the basis of language. It is all a part of understanding and interpreting the Bible.
I agree that the meaning of some scriptures are obvious, and no interpretation is needed. Like when a prophet of God said that the Judeans would go into captivity to the king of Babylon, we know that scripture saying that the Judeans were going into captivity is clear, no interpration needed. But when the prophet stated that prophesy it wasn't always known at what time this would happen. However it's also true when a prophecy Is stated in scripture the time it would happen would also be clear in the scriptures, so interpretation needed.
Sure, some things are very clear, some things not so clear, and some things are very difficult. That there is one true God who created all that came into being, and that Jesus died for our sins and was physically raised from the dead are without question, for example.
We should follow the example of Paul:
Act 17:2 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, (ESV)
There's a lot of scriptures that I believe people take out of context of the scriptures, to make it appear that scripture proves something he/she personally believes to be in the scriptures, but I also understand people most likely feel the same about me. I honestly haven't been convinced that I have, but I know they would believe the same thing.
Everyone thinks they are taking everything in context but clearly everyone is not. One of the hardest things for people to do is change their beliefs, so they will continue to see only those things they already believe unless or until God intervenes.
