Wrong Obedience and loyalty in the Church is leading many souls to eternal damnation.
a) Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:20: “He never commanded anyone to be ungodly, nor did He give anyone permission to sin.”
b) Matthew 15:13; Jesus answered, “Every plant which My heavenly Father didn’t plant will be uprooted".
c) It is public knowledge that, on many occasions, church authorities by demanding obedience and loyalty from those under their care made them victims of the sin of the flesh.
2) Divine law takes precedence over human law whenever the two come into direct conflict.
a) Exodus 1:15-17; The Pharaoh of Egypt gave orders to the Hebrew midwives one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah saying to them, “When you assist the Hebrew women in childbirth, look closely at the two stones: if it is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live.” But the midwives FEARED God and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them; instead, they let the boys live.
b) Acts 4:19 Peter and John replied, “Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God’s sight to obey you rather than God.”
c) Acts 5:29 Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.”
3) Man cannot contradict God’s decision or nullify God’s Word.
a) Mark 10:9 “What God has joined together, let no one separate.”
b) Mark 7:10 For Moses said, “Honor your father and your mother,” and, “Whoever curses his father or mother must be put to death.” But you say: “If anyone says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you might have received from me as support, I declare to be a Korbán—that is, an offering’”— you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother, thus NULLIFYING the Word of God by your tradition that you have handed down; and you do many things like these.”
4) The Bible warns against surrendering your conscience completely to false Magisterium.
a) Galatians 1: 8-9; Even if we or an angel from heaven preaches a Gospel different from the one we have preached to you, let him be accursed! (Anathema). As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone preaches a Gospel other than the one you received, let him be accursed! (Anathema).
b) 2 John 1, 9-11; If anybody does not keep within the teaching of Christ but goes beyond it, he does not have God: Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you bringing a different doctrine, you must not receive him in your house or even greet him. To greet him would make you a partner in his wicked work.
5) Persecution for being Righteous
a) Daniel 6:14; Then they said in the king’s presence, “Daniel, that exile from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the decree you have signed; he prays three times a day.”
b) John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but since you are not of the world—for I have chosen you out of the world—that is why the world hates you.
c) Acts 8:52 Which prophet did your fathers not persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One—the very one whom you have now betrayed and murdered.
d) Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven will be great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who came before you.
6) You must not yield to SIN no matter the pressure:
a) Exodus 32:21-24: Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” Aaron replied, “Let not the anger of my lord be kindled. You yourself know that these people are prone to evil. They said to me, ‘Make us a god to go before us, for we do not know what has happened to Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt.’ I replied, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off.’ So they took it off and gave it to me; I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
b) That is why confessors cannot reveal the secret of the confessional, even if the government pressures or tortures them.
7) If you understand the mystery of iniquity that is unfolding right now in the Church, help your brothers and sisters to see and understand.
a) Luke 22:32; “When you have returned, strengthen your brothers.”
b) Hosea 4:6; My people perish for lack of knowledge.
