I have heard so many people talk about the countless hours they spent in prayer and fasting before embarking on a foolish endeavor that was clearly not God's direction. All the prayer in the world is useless if you refuse to believe what God has already written.

Messiah was not nice to people who were carnally minded. Unless we are spiritually minded and savor the things of Elohim, laying down our life we are off base.
Matthew 16:23-26 TLV
[23] But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but the things of men.” [24] Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. [25] For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. [26] For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

When you share with someone at a congregation that we need to keep the biblical standard and after that they tell you they accept other standards also it means they are a false teacher. I had that happen recently and I left to never return. My wife doesn't ever want to return to that group either. It's unfortunate this happens and many people fall for this stuff because they don't read their Bible for themselves. I encourage everyone to read your Bible diligently. In the early congregation they went to the synagogue daily to read from the scrolls to know if what was being told to them was correct. Today it's so much easier because most all of us have our own Bibles that we can pick up daily and read from yet many don't and they fall for the lies of the tyrants.
Messiah told us not to be called Rabbi because he alone is our rabbi now. Yet many people don't understand this. I explained this once to a rabbi who did understand it because he is well versed in Hebrew also. Although Rabbi is a teacher it also means master. Messiah taught us by example and came as a servant. He came to serve and not to be served. We are to follow that same example. He hates the doctrines of the nicolaitans which holds to church leaders elevating themselves above the laity. This is what he hates. He told us to be servants and set the example. Yet many of the narcissist types view the role as pastor and other things as a leadership position to dominate other people. Scripture refers to this type of person as a tyrant.
Matthew 23:8 TLV
[8] “But you are not to be called rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.
