In so many cases most people don't have the Biblical sense to discern sound doctrine nor are they able to discern sound Biblical leadership. They have been taught what , how and why they believe from these egomaniacs. They aren't to never question the Pastors authority in any way or they will be marked as devils and Church splitters. As was I by this man as he spoke to his Church members while they were morning the death of their dear Brother. He used that format for his own personal selfish attack on Brothers and Sisters in Christ who were there( Me and my wife) at the time.

To your point we are always to go to the Word of God for our spiritual and moral directions and never ever seek the Authority of man as our Final Authority.

All through the Bible we read how man fell when they turned their back on God's direction and His Word. Many a Church has failed and became none productive , just spinning and never going any place because of PRIDE and this Church is no different.

They took a direct hit form God and they thing its a good thing that happened. The preacher said that they will move on and be even better than they are now. Move on from what? They have around 85 members give or take and they aren't showing any signs of growing any bigger. Over the 12 years they have been a Church they have lost a lot of people and now I know why.
