If you say God doesn't "speak through" your religious leaders (or they're not inspired), why do you trust them

Question

to lead you to God?

Answer 1

The Bible refers to them as people who are stuck With their "Traditions" It is easier to stay with what you know, than to go and have to rely on faith.

As far as I can tell, there is no one who gets the absolute gospel completely correctly. We have to find someone who Can help us learn essential christian doctrine and test it against what the Word of God says.
We also have the Holy spirit in us now, for guidance.

Answer 2

I don't say that God doesn't speak through people, or that people don't get inspired by God. But those people still don't "LEAD" anyone to God.

The people that seek God will find him, but we do not pin our hopes of Salvation or understanding of God's word on the lapel of a human here on this earth.
God left us everything we need.
The "leaders" are supposed to edify God's word/purpose, not change it, edit it, lie about it, or sugar coat it.
No man can come to the father except through Jesus the son.

Answer 3

My church leaders back everything with the Bible, and I trust them. I would not stay with the group that changes the Bible message to support their own beliefs, because God can keep His promises but men cannot apart form God.

Answer 5

Because they're too lazy to read the whole Bible, so they believe anything they say?

I have caught many of believers contradicting their own book, just the other day I quoted God from the Bible, and made it seem like my own words, and one follower called me "sick."

Answer 6

God speaks through his word the Bible and Holy Spirit helps the 'Faithful and Discreet Slave' to understand and to pass that understanding on to others.

Matt24:45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings

FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE
When answering the apostles’ question concerning his future presence and the conclusion of the existing system of things, Jesus Christ included a parable, or illustration, dealing with a “faithful and discreet slave” and an “evil slave.” The faithful slave’s master appointed him over his domestics, or household servants, to provide them their food. If approved at his master’s coming (evidently from some trip), the slave would be rewarded by being placed over the master’s entire property.—Mt 24:3, 45-51.

In the parallel illustration at Luke 12:42-48, the slave is called a steward, that is, a house manager or administrator, one placed over servants, though he is himself a servant. Such a position was often filled in ancient times by a faithful slave. (Compare Ge 24:2; also the case of Joseph at Ge 39:1-6.) In Jesus’ illustration the steward is first assigned only to the supervision and timely dispensation of the food supplies to the master’s body of attendants, or servants, and later, because of his faithful and discreet handling of this ministry, his assignment is widened out to embrace supervision of all the master’s holdings. Regarding the identification of the “master” (Gr., ky′ri·os, also rendered “lord”), Jesus had already shown that he himself occupied such a position toward his disciples, and they addressed him as such on occasion. (Mt 10:24, 25; 18:21; 24:42; Joh 13:6, 13) The question remains concerning the application of the figure of the faithful and discreet slave, or steward, and what his dispensing food to the domestics represents.

Commentators often view this as a general exhortation to any and all who have individual positions of responsibility in the Christian congregation. The requirement of faithfulness in discharging responsibility clearly applies to all such. (Compare Mt 25:14-30; Tit 1:7-9.) Yet, the impossibility of each and every one of these individuals being placed over “all” his master’s belongings at the same time, the time of the master’s arrival, is obvious. This, however, does not require that the “slave” prefigure only one particular person who would be so privileged. The Scriptures contain examples of the use of a singular noun to refer to a collective group, as when Jehovah addressed the collective group of the Israelite nation and told them: “You are my witnesses [plural], . . . even my servant [singular] whom I have chosen.” (Isa 43:10) Similarly, the figure of the unfaithful “evil slave” could apply to a collective group in the same way that “the antichrist” is shown to be a class made up of individual antichrists.—1Jo 2:18; 2Jo 7.

Those forming the Christian congregation are referred to by the apostle Paul as “members of the household of God” (Eph 2:19; 1Ti 3:15), and the same apostle shows that ‘faithful stewardship’ among such household members involved the dispensing of spiritual truths on which those becoming believers would ‘feed.’ (1Co 3:2, 5; 4:1, 2;
