YEP!BUT!
But the conscience is a very important instrument and needs calibration.
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews 5:12-14
You will never understand the Bible if you only read. You must also study.
Always take the Bible in its plainest simplest meaning. Even if this seems a bit strange to you. Don’t look for hidden meanings
Make sure you understand the context.
Good basic exegesis.
· Who was the book written to?
· Who wrote the book?
· What covenant where the readers under at the time?
· What where the readers doing right and what where they doing wrong?
· What behavior was the writer trying to encourage and what behavior was he trying to discourage?
Failing to answer these questions leads to HAVOC Theology (Half A Verse Out of Context), and with HAVOC theology you prove absolute anything you like. HAVOC Theology is not good exegesis.
Never use one text to contradict others. Rather continue prayerfully believing ALL the scriptures even if they seems to contradict each other initially.
