Act 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Yep, the bereans were actually commended by Paul for not just taking him at his word and instead checking the scriptures.
If one does this with modern preachers today they get a lot of grief over it. "How dare you question our pastor!"
I'm like how dare you have a problem with me putting God's Word before what man thinks and says?
I've done that in church before and was told that if I didn't like what we being taught there I should go find another church.
Problem now is most all churches today are teaching some false doctrine
