Ummmm.....Are you not trusting in yourself that you are right? So how can you say that you "only trust God and His Word"? That makes no sense!
Are you not trusting in yourself that you are right?
I am trusting in the Scriptures as true of God, and so my faith is that of Jesus, and obedience to His Word and will only.
I must allow the Scriptures to correct my thinking, change my mind, bring me to repentance and surety in the faith to do good and not evil, as well as gladly receiving good instruction of the Scripture from others.
I do not blindly believe and obey what men say, just because they are 'my leaders' to be hearkened to as Sacred as Scripture itself, especially when their 'Sacred' traditions are not confirmed by Scripture.
That makes no sense!
Not to you, because not putting your trust in men makes no sense to you.
Therefore, you have no concept for putting your trust in God and His written Word as the only means of being led of the Spirit and guided into the truth of Christ, and knowing the difference between good and evil according to His Word.
You are not strong in His Word, and therefore not strong against the devil, because you rely on what men say, instead of only what God says:
I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
It's just the way it is, and so you can believe and do what you want with your own mind, heart, and soul, and I will do the same for mine.
And each one of us will stand before God to answer for ourselves, and we will not be able to point fingers at others for 'bad' leadership.
One thing is for sure, I will not be blindly following blind guides into a ditch, while thinking the whole time I am dutifully trusting in 'my leaders'.
Bottom line: If you believe what you are led to believe and do, that does not conform to Scriptural truth. You are not wise in the holy Scriptures unto salvation. (2 Tim 3:15)
You will notice I always provide Scripture for all I believe and say and do. You provide only a learned tradition and carnal reasoning of men.
Such 'Sacred' traditions outside of Scripture do not save, neither do they excuse in the judgment.
