In the modern apostate church, many have placed their trust in the teachings of educated men above Christ. When they have a question the first thing they do is go to "the pastor", instead of to prayer seeking Christ and His Word the Bible.
Stop seeking men and begin to seek Christ, you will be amazed at how wide open your eyes will become to all the errors and traditions that have been a part of your thinking.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 "…12 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."
