Your men have failed you. They have not taught you all of Scripture. You should run from them.
What is the
CONTEXT of Jesus denouncing the men in long robes (the scribes and the Pharisees) amigo?
WHY did Jesus tell his disciples to do whatever they (the scribes and the Pharisees) teach you and follow it?
Why did Paul say "Obey those that rule over you" amigo?
Paul said the men who lead the church (the elders) are worthy of double honor. What men rule over you that are worthy of double honor amigo? what title do you give them?
Sooooooo now the question is: Is Jesus and Paul's teaching contradictory? Do we obey men in robes and do what they tell us to do OR beware of them? Or did amigo's teachers not teach him all of Scripture and put it into CONTEXT for him?
