In my opinion, the Church.
...2000 years of theologians and philosophers constantly studying the bible, studying the culture of the time, trying to gain understanding, etc.
I believe the Church is the main pillar of Truth, not the bible itself.
And what basis do you have for that, other than the upbringing you've reported you've had in the Church? Because quite frankly, the musings of church theologians are terribly unconvincing.
From an objective standpoint, your position looks an awful lot like programming.
