Words of the week

When concerning churches, you will have to watch out for man-made doctrine. Matt 7.15. Mark 7.7. Rom 10.1-2.  Romans 10.1-3   This kind of dogma is not from God, and it can rob you of liberties which are yours to keep and will condemn your soul.  2 Peter 2.1-2.  Matt 15.13-14.
 
The only defense one can have against false doctrine, is the knowledge of the word of God which can be learned by private study Acts 17.11.  Rev 2.2.   Jesus said all should be students of the word to be confident they are hearing truth. John 5.39   John 8.31-32.
 
Many people praise churches, unaware that they are rejoicing in division.  However, the bible teaches that there is to be no division. 1 Cor 1.10.  That all men should teach the small doctrine and if men would speak where the bible speaks and remain silent where the bible is silent, such could be the case. 1 Tim 1.3 1 Tim 4.16. 1 Tim 6.3. 2 Tim 1.13.
 
We cannot worship God as we please, we must worship God in spirit and in truth. John 4.24.  Demand book, chapter, and verse for practices which you might hear in your ​church.  Ask, where was this belief ever done in scripture?
