The eyes of the rebellious are blinded to the light of God's word. Rebellious people do not want to submit to the authority of God. The word of God is authoritative and normative. This means that we must do what God says and we must refrain from doing what God does not prescribe. Rebellion is a serious problem in Christendom.
Denominations are rebellious.
They use God's word only as a starting point. They do many things that are not prescribed in the New Testament, and they neglect to do what is prescribed. They just do what they want to do, or they follow their own tradition. God's word is our pattern. It will not be a presentable dress.
