How does anyone claim to know, thus love, Jesus The Word if obeying Him is not the top priority but look to 'man' and their words for what they want. We know the end of that story. Being hell bent to get one's way in any area, which is not God's way for It Is Written, is being more than obtuse!
Good posts!
Thanks for your comments.
I do want to add that there are Orthodox, Catholic and some Protestant groups that fall into the category of baptizing infants. They are all practicing something that is not shown in the Holy Scriptures. They have differing reasons.
Psalm 119:
1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
who walk according to the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes
and seek him with all their heart—
3 they do no wrong
but follow his ways.
4 You have laid down precepts
that are to be fully obeyed.
5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast
in obeying your decrees!
6 Then I would not be put to shame
when I consider all your commands.
7 I will praise you with an upright heart
as I learn your righteous laws.
8 I will obey your decrees;
do not utterly forsake me.
His Word alone is a light to our path and able to make the man of God complete. How blessed all of us are to have access to His Word. Probably more access than any time in history. Let’s treasure it, study it, and let it lead us to greater love for Him.
