But reason and experience tell us the Bible can’t be each man’s private guide to the truth. If individual guidance were a reality, we’d see every Christian believing the same thing. It does no good to say that we believe the same on the major points. You would have to believe the minor points identically also because, if the Holy Spirit enlightens you, he’s not going to distinguish between major and minor points. He would enlighten you completely. He would not teach you error.
