Do you remember the old TV commercial for Milk of Magnesia? Two ladies were sitting next to each other on the deck of a ship. Lady #1 pulled out a bottle of a well-known laxative intending to use it. In a voice of reproof, Lady #2 said, "You're not taking THAT, are you? Don't you know it has harsh chemicals that will harm your bodily systems?"
"Sez who?" replied Lady #1 frostily.
"It says right here on my bottle" responded Lady #2, pulling out her bottle of Milk of Magnesia and pointing to it as she read, "Other products contain harsh chemicals."
Have you ever known anyone who believed anything and everything, spiritually speaking, that is, without checking facts against the Word of God?
A friend of mine once received a tract condemning the celebration of Easter. But the tract cited no Scriptural basis to substantiate that premise. That same individual no longer celebrates Christmas in any way, shape or form because of something that was said by another individual who had no Scriptural basis to back up the claim that it was wrong to celebrate the season of Christ's birth as we have no documentation of when He was born.
I could go on and on with similar examples, but you get my drift, I'm sure. The bottom line is, don't fall prey to false teachings that can't be substantiated by the Word of God.
We must be sure "It says right here on the bottle" before accepting any spiritual doctrines and teachings.
Remember: "Sez who?"
