You accuse a 2,000 year old organization, peopled by some of the most intelligent persons who ever lived to be lacking in their ability to correctly interpret a book that they wrote.

Now isn't that pretty ignorant??? You write a book for people to read but then you have to interpret to them what it means since they can't understand what you wrote??? Do you guys ever think about the things you are inclined to repeat from your religion???

Details, details.....

Clearly not and this is certainly far from the first time it has been demonstrated.......

With that kind of specious logic, it would be sufficient to write an algebra textbook, and just hand it to all the 9th-graders and tell them to go read it and learn algebra, and have absolutely no need for any instructors to teach algebra to those high-school students.

The Scriptures offer beautiful simplicity, and at the same time, deep spiritual profundity, and the Holy Spirit tells us in the Bible that some should be "teachers" (not just Bible-readers), as God says teachers are necessary (see St. Paul's letters to the Ephesians and the Corinthians).
