Old Testament / New Testament , Obey Jesus ? or obey man?
Exodus 28:1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
OLD Testament Above quoting
This talk was about righteous and unrighteous authority and the principals of action to follow in order to deal with the situation.
Statement of intent above.
The church that loses its calling begins to drift away from a Christ ceneterd focus to a man focus. This man focus will lead us into a false sense of identity and there will be a great inability to hear and receive challenging and deepening truths.
This church becomes "doctrinal shoppers" who shop around until they find a voice that does not confront errors and when the church loses the heart for the poor and desires to satisfy it-self. The church is not called to be like men. It is called to look beyond self and to focus on Christ so we can be conformed to His image.
Statement of truth above.
We are living in a generation where a large portion of the church has a limited vision of God because it is being drawn to images of fallen man. These men misuse the anointing and begin to worship the creature rather than the Creator, and because of this they have lost the call of God.
HERE IT BECOMES VAGUE ABOVE, WHAT CHURCH? WHAT OR WHICH IMAGES OF ( FALLEN ) MEN? WHAT CREATURE ? Still OLD Testament ?
Are you speaking of idol worshipping within the Catholic Church ?
God says in His Word these houses of worship have become brothels in His eyes. How does God respond to this wayward church? God is love, and God will be faithful to cause them to see their condition and be ashamed. In the midst of His judgments He will remember His promises to them through His Holy Spirit and cause them to rise up and obey Him one more time. It is the mercy of God that will gather His wayward church in these last days. He will do this for His namesake! DOD
You can read more all about this in the Bible in Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers.
