Obey Them that Rule???

Or when he advises them that he's sorry that they already have 14 children, but using birth control is a sin?

Most here would say that those things are sin, error, or at the very least unbiblical. But techinically, priests are those who are put in authority over catholics, and therefore by what I perceive to be the thoughts of most here, they would be required to obey and submit to them.

But GOD did not put them in authority. That's the difference. In the REAL Church, it's God that puts certain men in authority over the saints.

It is not so much as being ordered, as being taught as truth, things that I do not necessarily view as truth or biblical, or that I feel is being misinterpreted. Not necessarily things that are outright sin (like drinking the kool-aid etc.), but things I definately feel are not what God intended.

But there is a biblical way of dealing with such things.

But I really don't so much want to make this about me, but about the question, at which point is it wrong to "obey", that is the question.

When it is contrary to obeying God.
