I hope this post finds you well on this Lord's Day. I had a question I have often pondered when it comes to interpreting text.
Scenario:
A Minister preaches a particular interpretation of a passage of scripture during a sermon. During this particular sermon the Pastor makes a conclusion that the Father of a family disagrees with entirely. Ex. (not for debate in this thread): Did Samson sleep with the prostitute he stayed with?
Is the father rightly able to privately teach his family an alternate view that would imply that he believes the Pastor is wrong on a particular point? There are likely two ditches one can fall in with these type of matters. I am just looking for help finding balance.
