*** The Church received the NT which the Apostles and others wrote with the help of the Holy Spirit.***
The Church decided on the NT (as well as the Old). It decided which versions and which translations of which books were Scriptural, which were good but not Scriptural and which were to be discarded.
We have either the Christian Church or Gnosticism. There is no other way outside of atheism.

You are correct, YOU have either the church of knowledge.
I have Jesus Christ as my savior. It is he who saved me from my sins, it is he who changed me from death to life everlasting, it is he who took my broken body and gave me life. The church did none of those. If your church is able to do that, Halleluyah. My God did it for me. Worship your church if that makes you happy. I will worship God the Father, through Jesus Christ his Son, by the power and help of the Holy Spirit. Worship your idols, worship your church, enjoy your life, as long as it lasts.
