Listen to your leaders, if you wish to avoid conundrums. Such is the path of contentment. Peace and blessings to all of you.

I cannot swallow that. Where are the Bereans who search the scriptures to see if things are so, rather than swallow everything someone tells them? Yes, we will avoid hassles if we just be quiet and accept what "elders" tell us, but a true elder will urge us to never accept anything from him unless we see it plainly in scripture, ourselves. The peace we get from not making waves is a false peace and only storing up trouble with God for another day.
