Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!" (Isaiah 5:20–21).

We are living in a World today that even in the Christian world we are told be tolerant... We are to be gentle and speak in love with one another but I don't think we are to tolerate the Word to be misused. Recently through trials my husband and I found ourselves in battle of or for the Word to be upheld. Who are we to be in this battle? My husband and I by no means think we are in any authority nor do we think we have any wisdom without God giving it to us. Who are we again we ask ourselves? We are Christ followers. In the beginning was the Word and Word was with God, and in the beginning the Word was God.
So why do believers spend so much time just as the Pharisees adding to or changing what the Word says applying man's or woman's understanding and asking what human opinions are of the Word? Why do believers spend so much time fighting for power and persecuting and opposing the men God put in the pulpits to preach the Truth? Because the word says... Jeremiah 17: 9 The heart is deceitful above all things,and desperately sick;who can understand it?10 “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind,bto give every man according to his ways,according to the fruit of his deeds.”
We as Christ followers must read, meditate, and memorize the Word and not seek opinion or what our thoughts but we must Seek the Lord ask Him to reveal what His Word says. We must as the Word says in 2Tim.
2Tim. 7- 26....7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel, 9for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! 10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11The saying is trustworthy, for:
If we have died with him, we will also live with him;12 if we endure, we will also reign with him;if we deny him, he also will deny us;13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—
for he cannot deny himself.A Worker Approved by God
14Remind them of these things, and charge them before Goda not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,b a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 16But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 17and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18who have swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. They are upsetting the faith of some. 19But God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity.”
20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and clay, some for honorable use, some for dishonorable. 21Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable,c he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.
22So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. 23Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24And the Lord’s servantd must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
