Yes and he often contradicts himself! They are called "double minded men", God says; "they are unstable in all their ways."

Each Generation Grows Worse
Since our children's generation is walking in superficial worldly Christianity there remains a great deal of rebellion in their hearts. Their religion is based on emotions far more than rational thinking.
Watching this generation indulge themselves in arrogance based on fantasy feelings has been agonizing. Their attempt at appearing superior has led them down a path of self righteousness.
The resistance to truth and teaching has left them spiritual infants. Those who are not born again we expect that from, but it is hard when those who claim to be Christians act more like the world than they do like authentic believers.
When the Bible is not very important to them, they claim it is, but follow little of it. They will even say they are "Bible believing", but their lives and actions are not evidence of what they say.
These self righteous ones make rash judgments about people, the reason being that they do not listen long enough or with enough interest to hear anyone. Their own thoughts and ideas are all that matter to them.
When self is the focus, personal superiority is the goal there is no learning possible.
Acts 7:51 "51 “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you."
Romans 2:5 "5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed."
Proverbs 29:1
"He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck, will suddenly be broken beyond healing."
Psalm 81:11-12
“But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels."
Those who continually rebel against sound teaching will eventually be turned over to their rebellion without a chance of ever changing.
Just remember the longer one resists God, the stronger the dilution and the less likely one will be able to think rationally with the mind of Christ.

Both Father and Mother Rule Over the Family Together
Quote from the Milk and Honey publication: by Stephen Hulshizer
"When God will return "with" His bride to establish His kingdom on the earth, and just as the first's man's wife was with him in his rule, so shall the Church rule and reign with the Second Man, Jesus Christ. (Rev. 5:9-10; Col. 3:4; Matthew 24:29-31")"
Proverbs 1:8-9 "8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother. 9 For they are a garland of grace on your head, and a pendant around your neck."

What is the Meaning of "Church"
Quote from the Milk and Honey publication: by Stephen Hulshizer
"The English word "church" does not give us the real meaning of the Greek word used in writing the New Testament. Church would best be translated as "assembly." The Church, or Assembly, is an "assembly" or "gathering" who have been "called out" of this world. It is a gathering of "called-out-ones" who have been separated to God from the world by the Holy Spirit through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (1 Thess. 1:5)
