ABSOLUTELY!
That's where SACRED TRADITION comes into play! You see what the Early Church fathers had to say about that topic, see what THEY were teaching the congregation. Find out how the APOSTLES taught that topic!
That way, you don't make the Bible say what suits YOU, you make it say what the Apostles MEANT it to say!
Peace be with you,
