Dear David W.,
Excellent post and scriptural back up.
I would also add Matthew 15:9
9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
These^ are the words of Jesus Christ…I am only quoting Him from the Gospel of Matthew. Our Lord and Savior was/is quite clear.
I refuse to obey King Constantine, who was just a man. His ‘commandments’, therefore, mean nothing to me.
God bless.
YsiChrist,
Patty RP
