This is what Lord told me about my anger at pastors: Pastors start with a spirit, heart and most importantly, a desire to hear the voice of Yhvh. Then, almost without noticing, the weightiness of their responsibilities to their spiritual family (rent, attendance, utilities, missions, supplies, employees, etc.) and to their biological family (rent, utilities, cars, children, spouse, etc.) becomes their idol, confusing their ears to the voice of Lord.
Matt 13:22-23
"And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Increasing church income to satisfy a burgeoning budget becomes the over-riding concern of pastors and elders rather than teaching the true blessings of Yhvh. Thus, holding onto the flock at all costs becomes vital to gaining mammon for the support of their desires. These idols eat away at the spirit of pastors and elders until they no longer hear the voice of Yhvh, but instead listen only to the spirit of their hearts.
Jeremiah 23:16-17
"Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.
They keep saying to those who despise me, 'The LORD says: You will have peace.'
And to all who follow the stubbornness of their hearts they say, 'No harm will come to you.' NIV
2 Cor 11:3
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. NIV
Yhvh’s word warns with clarity, teaching how the adversary can slip in dressed as an angel of light.
2 Cor 11:12-15
But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light . Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.
Yet we all think ourselves impervious to the treacheries of Satan! I have seen Satan use this very ruse of mimicking an Angel of Light and was directed by my Lord in how I would discern the voice of the Spirit Of the Most High. Lord promised that no matter how far from the ‘norm’ His words in my ears seemed, He would always second them in the written Word, as His witness. (The bible is for proving the words we get from Yhvh.)
Prov 1:2-7
To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding, To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice and equity; To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion, A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel, To understand a proverb and a figure, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge

2 Tim 3:15-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. NASB
Definition of "inspired" - based on a particular motive or example
Definition of "adequate" - enough = sufficient in quality or quantity to meet a need or qualify for something or just barely enough = just barely sufficient in quality or quantity to meet a need or qualify for something.
As I came into understanding what Lord was teaching me, I could easily see how Satan had blinded the majority of people trying their best to be men of Yhvh. I could also see how man had chosen to ignore much of what the word says in an attempt to cling to his precepts.
Many present day teachings are merely manipulations of the masses by pastors, priests, rabbis, scribes and governors who are entrenched in a business paradigm: limiting their trust in Yhvh to meeting their needs and their desire to control man through the self-righteousness they developed for comfort zones. In blindness we have had those awash in the traditions of man and those who simply do not know the truth and others trapped by their desire to resist change, preaching what they think they know to be the truth.
All this must change as we prepare the way for the return of the Lord. That change begins with the first things you must understand to begin your true walk with Lord and Creator. The teaching of these have been called for since the beginning of biblical teachings and reaffirmed by the teachings of our Messiah and his disciples. The following verse is something I (as should we all) take very seriously:
Matt 5:19-20
"Whoever then "annuls" one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
(Annuls, or breaks, translates from the Greek word: luo [loo’-o]; a primary verb; 'to loosen'’)
So it is truly said: anyone who loosens even one of the least of Yhvh's commandments will be least in heaven. Yet church leaders for the last 2000 years take away from and add to the words of Yhvh as they please with “question me not” or “you have to understand” or “touch not the anointed of the Lord” arguments to justify themselves.
