You can deny Gods words if you wish. But you cannot change them. You don't get to pick and choose the parts of what God has said. It's not up to you. Your not a god. This is what some people who use God as a crutch when it fits their need do. This is not accepting God but setting up ones one false god to suit their desire to reject what God has said.
The most common false "god" being set up is the Bible itself and it is done to allow those who do to go back to the "Egypt" of Law, never really having tasted the liberty that is in Christ and the direction of the Spirit that Jesus promised.

I have never heard of anyone worshiping the bible or setting it up as a god. But I know many that believe God is capable of saying what He means and has done so. They just accept what God has said. It's worshiping God by believing what He say's over some man or woman. Doubt is the devils domain, Always!
That's an odd way of seeing the term "do not". Can you provide evidence to support your claim that this is what it means or are you just baiting?
Yes, the scribes and Pharisees knew the scriptures but did not understand them, also the disciples knew them but did not understand them. We don't get to pick and choose what scripture means, Jesus Christ the Light within is how we gain understanding from them.
Only Adam and those made in the image of the God and after his likeness are allowed to speak the Word, if you were born of the Spirit and the Word you would have no need for a man or a woman to teach you, but the Spirit will teach you the Holy Word of God.
Too many do NOT believe that Christ is the mediator of the New Covenant. They pretend that it is still in the future . . . like so many things. Why 2000+ years is NOT sufficiently in the future for these people is never clearly explained. Under the New Covenant God has "written in our hearts" and Christ abides with us providing the Comforter (Holy Spirit) within our consciousness to guide us to the truth. Those who do not believe Christ are afraid to trust what is in their hearts because our hearts could not be trusted under the Old Covenant. They simply do not believe Christ, period.
Serious question. How told was Peter when this happened?
I think he was "told" a lot!
