I never put it together that way before, but there really is no Good News with a ping-pong salvation theology, based on the inner goodness of men to make temporary free will decisions to accept Christ THROUGH a group of ever changing, but always fallible men who say that God wanted THEM, and many others, to be IN BETWEEN the believer and God

That's why the Church exists -- for ever changing, always fallible men, FK!

Perhaps you need to remember that Protestants are ever changing and fallible men too. The only difference is that the Protestants left the Church to be come self-righteous.

Surely, you can tell me why would God give knowledge to you personally but not to the Church collectively?

Tsk, tsk! And why did the Orthodox break apart from the Catholic Church?

I do remember that Protestants are ever changing and fully fallible. The difference I see is that Protestants put God's word over and above men. Other non-Protestant groups put men over and above God's word. If anyone is self-righteous, who would that be?
