Anneliese:
Yes, it most certainly is a contradiction.  Obedience is still the best way
to go.  If there is a problem with the pastor or his teaching, isn't God
quite capable of fixing the problem without any help from us?  Pastors are
in positions of authority over us, period.  That authority is only removed
by God himself, when God sees fit.  If there is a serious problem, get a
group together and pray fervently that God will intervene.  It does no good
for the new people in the congregation to see or hear or *infer* a lot of
rebellion against the pastor.  If the pastor is dead wrong, and you still
obey (knowing in your heart it is incorrect), who will be held accountable?
Answer: the pastor.  I'm reminded of non-Apostolic pastors, who *know* the
truth of the plan of salvation, yet continue to preach falsely to their
congregations.
