Amos 2:4.
"Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept His commandments. Their lies lead them astray, lies which their fathers followed."
"Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have despised the law of the Lord, and have not kept His commandments. Their lies lead them astray, lies which their fathers followed."
We must not as before our conversion turn from God's word as commands. He spoke for us to gladly follow and obey His word, not to ignore or even despise what He tells us because we don't like parts of it or don't agree with it as we align with society's benchmarks. As Calvin said, "We are not to follow the fathers in error, but must follow the word of God alone." Just because someone teaches something, it is not to be adhered to unless it is backed by Scripture. Reformed listening includes finding out if these things are so (Acts 17:11).
