Week Three Making What Man Says More Important Than What God Says (Matthew 15:1-20)
#1 When We Elevate OUR Beliefs Over HIS Word 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders?...”
#1 When We Elevate OUR Beliefs Over HIS Word 3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?”
#2 When We Pick and Choose What We Want to Follow 6 “…Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.”
#3 When We Teach Teachings Taught By Men What “doctrines of men” are we accepting as Scripture simply because we do not know Scripture?
“Doctrines of Men” Hell is not a real place and He is too loving of a God to send anyone there All human beings will ultimately be "saved" and restored to a right relationship with God
“Doctrines of Men” “You are born that way” (homosexuality is not a sin) It is always the will of God for a Christian to be healthy and wealthy Christians can “name it,” “claim it,” or “speak it” into existence
Hebrews 5:13-14 (NASB) 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
