Not always, sometimes it results in oddballs who end up founding a new denomination or being the figure of admiration when some grifter founds a denomination in their supposed image.
Really the sheer number of protestant denominations should be held up in literature classes to teach just how many interpretations to a single text can be determined just from how different people read the same passages.
What’s so funny about this shit, is my protestant atheist reading of the Bible explicitly denounces sola scriptural interpretation. The Bible was put together by church councils and was explicit that it wasn’t the only authority of Christian tradition. For fucks sakes most of the new testament is just Paul writing about how the church hierarchy should be run.
