“But God has commanded that, even if the priests, the pastors, and Christ-on-earth were incarnate devils, we be obedient and subject to them, not for their sakes, but for the sake of God, and out of obedience to Him.”
Really.....
I wonder what the chapter and verse reference is for THAT......
Matthew 23:2-3 would be an example Bible Chapter and verse from the lips of Jesus:

“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
That’s what Matthew 23:2-3 says to you? Even if they were incarnate devils you should still follow them and obey them? If so that is truly pathetic.
