Bible Relativism

As a Bible teacher, I would attack relativism by stating that one cannot simply say "what is truth for you may not be truth for me". I taught that the Bible is our authority for truth about God. But when it came down to what the Bible taught us, I would myself teach relativism by saying that each person must decide for themselves what the Bible means to them. And if we came to different conclusions on topics, we just had to agree to disagree because who is to say what is the right interpretations. That is the Protestant position, a sort of Bible relativism that has broken into thousands of denominations each claiming to interpret the Bible in a way that is true for them. I don't have to do that anymore, I found my vanishing point.
