How do we know the difference between a biblical command and a personal opinion?
That’s the question behind this week’s “Can You Help?” episode.
A listener writes:
“The new congregation I started attending thinks it’s fine to pray to Jesus… but I grew up with that being unacceptable. They have ‘biblical proof,’ but that comes down to interpretation. So where is the line? How do I know what is command and what is opinion?”That’s an honest question — and one many Christians quietly wrestle with.
In this episode, the four preachers discuss:
- What counts as a clear biblical command
- The role of example and necessary inference
- Where interpretation inevitably enters the picture
- How to tell the difference between authority and application
- When disagreement affects fellowship — and when it doesn’t
- The danger of binding where God has not bound
- The danger of loosening what God has clearly revealed
