What is wrong with being told not to interpret Scripture on your own and to wait for the pulpit?

Les explains that the problem is the mentality that says, “We can’t go by what you tell us… we have to go by what our church says.” He recounts a lady who returned from a denominational convention and read a paragraph saying, in so many words, “Don’t you try to interpret Scripture on your own. You wait until you hear it from behind the pulpit.” Les says that is where people are getting led down a primrose path. He acknowledges some pulpits are alright, but a lot of them are not. Therefore, believers have to get to the place where they can discern the Scriptures. His goal is not that people simply say, “That’s what Les said,” but that they see where he has shown what Scripture says and then come back on their own and confirm, “This is what it says.” That is his only reason for teaching; he does not build an organization, is not in it for money, does not take offerings, and only uses money for television to buy TV time, because people must get back into the Book.
