Are Rabbi's The Only Ones Allowed To Interpret Scripture???

For centuries, many Jewish communities have held that only rabbis have the authority to interpret Scripture. But is that what the Bible itself teaches? But if these sacred writings were given to God's people, aren't they meant to be read and wrestled with by everyone? If two sincere people arrive at different conclusions, who has the final say? Is authority found in religious tradition, individual conviction, or something else entirely? In this thoughtful conversation, we explore some of the biggest questions surrounding biblical interpretation, authority, and the purpose of Scripture itself. And rather than "debating," we simply ask what it looks like to approach these ancient texts with both humility and honesty while seeking truth together. Whether you're Jewish, Christian, questioning, or simply curious, this discussion offers a respectful look at how we read Scripture, who gets to interpret it, and why those questions still matter today.
