Agreed. I think the most helpful point we can make is that any interpretation of one verse of Scripture must be consistent with all other Scripture. If there are two ways to interpret a verse, choose the one that agrees with all other Scripture.
When you find two verses that seem to disagree, it is an opportunity to learn something. Don't just pick the one that agrees with your prior thinking. Find an understanding that makes both true - for they are both true.
What I have seen is that the Bible explains itself. Found a doubting verse? Think it is so due to translation? Keep reading and see the meaning further. It is always explained again so that it confirms the true meaning.
