Christ did not found a book, He founded a Church, one Church. The Church gave us the Scriptures in the form we have then today and the Church interprets them. Scripture and Sacred Tradition are Christ's will.
CHRIST
is the
LONE INTERCESSOR
BETWEEN
God and man.
CHRIST IS
THE LIVING WORD.
Whenever, even in the Old Testament, man became too comfortable with even the boxes God had HIMESELF constructed vis a vis religion,
GOD BUSTED THEM UP.
Christ said call no man Father but our Heavenly Father.
But the bureaucracy has lists of rationalizations a mile long for it's officials to continue to act like pharisees; for the troops to continue slavish devotion to an organization
INSTEAD OF TO GOD
and for satan's realm to be gleefully involved instead of God's Holy Spirit directing individuals closer and closer to God.
The Roman church does not have a monopoly on this. But it is sure the most glaring example I know of.
SPEAKING OF
TRADITION!
CHRIST WAS RATHER HOSTILE
regarding the
TRADITIONS OF MEN.
I think the Roman church has raced off the galactic deep end with regard to TRADITIONS OF MEN.
Alas, virtually all Protestant orgs are close behind.
