It is interesting to note that the worries the old church leaders had about varying interpretations of the Holy Bible was completely founded. I myself am amazed at how often different Christian sects can derive such differences in doctrine and practice and still read the same book. This of course leads to discussions over who has (if anybody) interpreted the text correctly.
Despite the factitious element this brought to Christianity in the world, I am glad it happened. I believe in personal scripture study as a vital element in religious practice. Along with that should come humble and prayerful meditation to understand what you read.
