Obey God over men!
Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
What Peter said here is a must stand! Obey God over men, that is if mens commands are contrary to Gods word. How much complete utter nonsense can be eliminated by this simple methodology. All the stupid, ignorant, wicked religious deeds that are done that are so unbiblical. Jesus told the pharisees they rejected the commandments of God and walked in the traditions of men! If you would only hold to Gods word, stand upon those truths, you would never come across these satanic traditions that often are diametrically opposed to Gods holy word. There is no possibility one can aquire such mindless ideas as these commandments of men offer is you just read Gods word! My 1st year as a new christian, so on fire for Gods word, I read chapter after chapter whenever I could. Writing down truths I was given. It was a year later, I aquired a commentary of the bible only to discover that the Holy Spirit me showed these seasoned Christians saw it the same way! The jehovahs witnesses have stated in their watchtower magazine that just reading the bible alone, will drive one into darkness! Nope! Gods word is where we learn what to obey and what to refuse! Peters one solid dude to live this way before God and man. Lord, may I live this way everyday of my life! May I obey Your word God all my days.
