Acquiring Deeni Knowledge

Asking fatwas from someone that one has confidence in

Q: There is a local mufti or two I'm close with - they are both teachers in madrasah. One of them is a Khatib in a masjid and the other is an imam. They are known for their knowledge and piety. If I get questions pertaining to these should I consult with one of them? I think I'm more comfortable with that as it's easier to express oneself in person. I had previously asked question(s) pertaining to both of them and their answers gave me comfort. Would it be better if I consult one or both of them on this issue and others, especially with regards to my mental state, instead of questioning scholars online for fatwa? Will I be sufficiently fulfilling my responsibility? 

Learning Deen under a righteous experienced Aalim

Q: I am really in doubt whether hadith is true or not due to many conflicting facts that arised by Ahmed Javed Ghamdi. Now I get thoughts that I am doubting hadith and I can find out whether the hadith is true or not by researching on google which may take time. When I get free time I usually spend on other things. Now I get the thought that i should spend whole my free time in knowing hadith is true or not. Or else i am commiting kufr. This is because if a non muslim can know the truth of islam by researching on google but he doesn't do that knowing that he is able to do. He is ignoring to know truth. I think that i am also doing same case. Feeling scared. Is it kufr if i don't spend my free time in reaserching in google if hadith are true or not?
