All things that go against the new testament (specifically Corinthians and the Sermon), yet that is the status quo. Although the Church leaders will tell you they're doing the right thing (and they are!), however it is against the Bibles teachings.
The Pharisees also taught their people not to stone their children (and they were right, you shouldn't) and Jesus was HIGHLY critical of this, it was documented in two gospels. He called them Hypocrites and said "see how they put away the word of god to follow the teachings of men (paraphrase)"
Modern Churches are filled with leaders who teach a Church Christanity, rather then solely a Bible Christianity, this is the mirror image of the pharisees in modern times
