Judges 17:5-6
Excerpted from: We are Called to LibertyThe Protestant principle of permitting individualistic private interpretation was set loose in the context of the freedom, democracy, and equality of North America. From this came the present attitude in mainstream Christianity that every man's opinion is as good as everyone else's, resulting in non-biblical cultural Christianity today. This principle does not apply in physics or medicine, and it is not universally applicable in law or theology.
And that seems to be the push that we have had for quite a few years now, until recently anyway, but it still goes on because it is in the hearts of men to do what is right in their own eyes. God sees this attitude as a product of pride.
