185.               It is very disrespectful and dishonorable for members in the Body of Christ who are laity or young in the Lord to correct spiritual fathers and mothers in the five-fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers).

197.               Murmuring, griping, finding fault, complaining, being negative, doubt, unbelief, speaking evil words and grumbling greatly dishonors God, and is very disrespectful because you are basically saying that you don’t think highly enough of the Lord to believe that His Word is true and that He is faithful and true to fulfill every promise spoken over you. It’s a sin that makes Him very angry. The first generation of the Children of Israel forfeited their promise of entering the promised land due to these kinds of sins. They behaved like that for 40 long years without repenting and God was very angry and displeased with that generation and said that they would never enter into His rest. May we learn from their example.
