"It is an institution of God's, not man's. You sound like those atheists who insist that Scripture is man-made as well."

The church of the "Called Out" ones has only one head. It does not have a man who claims infallibility. It does not claim "ownership" of GOD's WORD. It does not add sacraments that are not in SCRIPTURE. It does not have a group of weak and fallible men claiming to be the only ones who can accurately interpret SCRIPTURE. Your institution is obviously man made and prone to error as all man made things are.

If it is, then you might as well stop being a Christian now, as the religion, however generic you want to make it, would be logically false. If the Catholic Church is man-made, then Jesus, whom we suppose to be omniscient, would have knowingly allowed Himself to be massively quoted out-of-context in His discussion of the Church (whatever it is), and, further, knowingly allowed this bastardized church to go on unchecked and uncorrected for 1500 years before any correction was made. This is an absurd denial of Divine Providence. If that was the best He could do, then we ALL labor in vain, indeed!

Yet, there is an alternative viewpoint here that rectifies the situation quite nicely...
