Agreed. That's certainly the place to start, though with so many versions and translations over the many, many years, it often can be hard to come away with a clear understanding. I believe much of it is purposefully written to not be clear "as is" but rather is description through metaphor and analogy?

Therefore, the only answer, based upon what is written, is that Holy Spirit is the only teacher who can truly explain what has been written, but He needs the appropriate spirit to feel welcome enough to share His Wisdom.

Without that appropriate spirit and the Holy Spirit's teaching, pardon my babble, but they're just words whose meanings change with time, generation by generation.

So, I guess that's why people tend to get things wrong, such as arguing about rich and poor referring to physical wealth, instead of being about one's spirit, and then act accordingly, while being oblivious to it at the same time?

Please forgive me and my ignorance if I just watch the War Between the Denominations from the sidelines and ask an occasional question or two along the way.

The war(s) between the denominations is mostly feckless ‘gotcha.’

All of the organized denominations are chock full of error, as witnessed by Yeshua’s letters to the seven churches. Only the church at Philadelphia was praised for retaining the first principles, and promised to be protected from Satan’s great tribulation.

Sidelines?

I'd say you've been seen in the stables; trying to dope the horses...

if you say: "we have no use for Her Heart", know that in reality you are saying: "we have no use for the Lord's Heart!" 
learn, feeble man, that My Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of your Mother are so united that in their perfect unity those Two Divine Hearts become One; 
I tell you solemnly: if you acknowledge Her Heart, not only will you be acknowledging My Heart but also the Father's; 
have I not said that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? 
if I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, My Heart, too, is in the Father and His Heart is in Mine; 
to say that We are not inseparable and One, is to deny My Word; 
do not be the slave of your spirit and do not be won by the arguments of the world;
