I note your difference between what Scripture "actually states," and
what Scripture "has always meant."
"Interesting" twist of actually stating, to differently meaning.
I'm sure you will understand if I go with what Scripture actually states.
My response, here, to your distinction between what Scripture states and what it means,
is clear, speaks for itself and needs no further response.

Scripture has only one meaning and that meaning has been the same from the beginning. The Holy Spirit has preserved the Gospel, God's revelation to man unchanged from the beginning.
Unlike the morass, personal, sectarian, philosophical realm of sola scriptura which makes the scriptures null and void. You treat it as a source to take ideas from to develop your personal religion.
