Image is the life-blood and breath of being, and at direct and ever-lasting enmity against true faith (flesh against spirit). 

If I have your intent right, the question is this: How can we be confidant in our understanding of the word as well as being open to changes in that view? Of course, I could say it is not about being right about scripture but about being true to scripture: big difference. How are we true to scripture? The right hermeneutics? Following the thoughts of Luther, Calvin, Wesley, or the Pope? 

The basic error is being set in what we believe instead of how we believe. "Turn, and become as little children." "...BECOME as little children": this is central to faith. It is a state of being, not a statement of belief, upon which we rest: complete surrender to the Holy Spirit as our teacher in all things. Where is the one place we can find the Holy Spirit? In the moment, for he is a lamp unto our feet: the perfect amount of illumination to light what is before us, past and future in the dark.

Change cannot be approached from the mind, only from the heart.
