At a previous church we attended in another city one of the favourite doctrines was soul liberty. Now I believe in soul liberty as it relates to disputable matters but there were some in the church who persisted that because of soul liberty they could reject portions of scripture because they saw them as fables, myths or just stories.
Now here is the danger, who decides what Scripture is true and what is just a story to teach us a moral lesson? If it is me then I put myself above Scripture and in the place of God. There is no liberty when it comes to the acceptance of the truth of Scripture. All Scripture is God breathed. There may be different interpretations of some difficult passages but it is not a "private interpretation". God has given us Scripture, the Holy Spirit and Biblical scholars who can help us. All Scripture is true.
