The reason I started this thread was because in my own life I came to the revelation of Christ as the only source of Truth. After about 35yrs of ministry I was stuck in a spiritual limbo. I had my own church for about 5yrs and was a Associate Pastor at another church for 5yrs. I finally walked away from all of it. There was to much conflict and contention. Then God told me to throw away everything I was taught and start again. I was afraid because my whole world was built on everything I had learned. Now God was telling me to throw it away. He said,"Do you trust me to lead you?". I said, "Yes". He said," Then throw it away and I will show you things that are not taught by men. My Holy Spirit will teach you what you need to know". In short, all the man made doctrines began to clash with the scripture. I was given a chose to believe what I was reading or hold onto the man made doctrines.
Modern Christians have substituted the Truth of God for man made doctrines. Doctrines which clearly contradict the Word of God. People can't see the contradictions because the lies are woven in with truth. A con man can't con you unless part of what he is saying is true. Many man made doctrines have verses within them, but those verses are manipulated. They are manipulated by adding or subtracting meaning which is not there. Or the manipulation is done by connecting unrelated verses in an out of context meaning. I joke about this by giving two verses. "Judas went out and hung himself" and "Go thou and do like wise". This is church of the hanging noose and they can't seem to keep members . Yet! Many churches today are doing the same thing and their members can't see it. I know because I was there once. I believed all the lies because they were loosely backed by the bible. Use your head by yielding to the Holy Spirit and don't follow the crowd.
