So Much Was Wrong in the Church

So many things we were taught in the churches today, based on the English translation, were incorrec,t leading to abuses through cultural thinking rather than what God actually said.

 
This is why it is so important that we ask God to show us only the truth. There is so much wrong thinking that our entire lives have been based on man's thinking but few are willing to evaluate them because most people are dedicated to their traditions. Fear of men has caused people to retain beliefs that are not from God.

 
Mark 7:13 "13Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”

 
Colossians 2:8 "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ."

1 Timothy 4:1-3 "Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,  influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.  They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth."

Isaiah 29:13 "Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men."
