[Psalm 51:17]

Oddly, maybe albeit unsurprisingly, Churchianity of today ALMOST NEVER says this. It's as if the pastors of these churches are infallible b/c of their "seminary" degrees, so therefore they have all the answers. No, they don't directly say to throw out your bibles, but at the same time this system is very crafty in terms of deceiving their pews to gain their "trust"...so therefore what's the point in doing bible studies?

Been there, done there - in my previous church, FWIW, the pastor had all these "visions", one of them being to move into a new million dollar complex, and he ended up getting this "vision" after a prayer breakfast with the Mayor, and during that "40 days of purpose" time that church did. But here are the problems...1) The mayor at the time was an UNBELIEVER, so they sure weren't praying to Jesus Christ! and 2) He somehow got a "vision" from Jesus Christ during a time of pagan worship!

Ultimately, it's just mystifying over why people will automatically think some pastor or missionary is a true, true man of God, so therefore we have to pay heed to everything they say and do. For the record, Romans 2 clearly says NO MAN is righteous, NOT one. AND throughout scripture it says that it's GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS that's imputed on us b/c of our belief on the name of Jesus Christ being the Son of God, his death, blood atonement, and recurrection.
