A hierarchical structure of church government leads men below in the structure to see another person's position higher up in the hierarchy as giving them authority as to what is the truth from God rather than the Holy Scriptures and the convictions of the Holy Spirit. So the mind is weakened in how to prove all things by the Holy Spirit. In this way men become submitted to other men rather than the Scriptures. Thus the commandments of men are exalted giving the men in high position an overreaching arrogancy akin to the pope. Evil angels thus fester in such a circumstance so that influences had are really due to seducing spirits and doctrines of devil's. One has only to consider how entrenched GC loyalists are in the conference doctrines regardless of Scripture truth, to appreciate the corrupting influence of the hierarchical papal form of church government.
I pray that all will understand the chains that bind them and give themselves a chance to be truly liberated by Jesus Christ and His truths.
