“Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow… You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you.
God’s word is God’s word. We should never be so “smart” so as to go beyond what the word says. In 1Corinthians 4 Paul speaks to this when he says not to go beyond the word. The people were being too smart for their own good, they were wise in their own eyes, but Paul was willing to be foolish and stick to what the word of God has to say. Don’t be so “dignified” that you make rules of decorum which go beyond what the Scriptures command…
