Too many people trust their feelings, follow men blindly, and fail to follow the Berean example of searching the Scriptures daily to see whether what they are being told is true. Acts 17:11

We are free to make our choices, but we will be held accountable to the Word, which teaches us how to live lives that are pleasing to God.

Certainly that’s true as a general principle, but, what do you do with the Biblical examples of people going against the “Word” of the day yet still being ok? ie Jesus and the Apostles breaking the Sabbath. God causing Samson to marry a Philistine when it was forbidden.

There seem to be occasions where the “law” or “Word” was set aside for a higher purpose of the moment.
