The problem with this line of thinking is the same when people say "to interpret the unclear parts of Scripture with the clear parts." Who gets to determine which parts are clear?

What we with our modern presuppositions (which cannot help but be influenced by the Enlightenment) will differ with what the patristics and medievals thought important.
