In the bible it says the holy spirit will lead you to understanding. Forgive me for not providing the source material for that. In what you have said, the final authority must be researched through seeking wiser council. Said like that it seems the scripture is not the final authority, but the apologetics that attempt to explain away the contradiction provide the final authority (and interpretation).

What i am saying is scripture will support scripture and if i do not understand something i will go to a more informed person, [ going back to the milk-meat concern at the start], that has more meat ,[understanding than I] because yes the Holy Spirit will lead however it is said to study to show yourself approved. So i go to one who has studied more than i to seek what he has learned by the Spirit to be true.

But again i say all this talk is useless if one does not accept Jesus as Savior and God. And if he does than what Jesus [God] says is truth and He says scripture is His word so why would I doubt that since I believe?
Again i say we will not come to an agreement as long as we give authority to different sources,[ not saying we are, maybe we're just not understanding each other].
