Amen! Our first action should be to go to scripture. And if we still don't understand. Study some more.Always keeping in mind the doctrin of those we trust. Who have gone befor us.
But our intent should alwas be to know and understand whatever it is for ourself.God's word is a whole no part contradicts any other part,and if it appears to, we misunderstand that part of it. And we need to study it more.
IMHO.
