I always seek His instructions before I do things or talk to anyone about things.
When God tells me something, it does not matter what others say.
When men speak out of ignorance then no I will not even give it the time of day.
Here you are confusing human nature and the inner witnesses of the Holy Spirit.
Being inner led by the Holy Spirit is exactly how God commands us to live. However you will need to Know His Voice.
This really is not making much sense to me.
When man gives bad or incorrect advice it is just that , his own thinking.
Seeking Guidance must first come from the Father. You never put man before God.
Tell me this, who did Noah consult in building his boat? God and or man?
Yes Sir I got the letter qualifing me and several boats beyond that.
Now one more point I wish to make.
Any time a believer seeks guidance from man it needs to be after soaking it in much prayer and it must come as conformation of what you already knew from God.
We are not talking about things like what spark plug to use or how much pressure should be in my fuel lines on a 150 4 stroke at 5800 rpms.
Although I would have asked God first even in those.
My point is simple.
To many believers seek man's approval on things over Seeking and Hearing from God.
Far too many times they just want to hear what they want to hear.
It's foolish to rely on what others say over knowing what God wants is all I am saying.
Anyway, Thank You For the reply and fellowship.
Blessings
