The flip side to that coin is the centralized hierarchy where flawed theology can become doctrine with one bad leader.
That statement shows quite a lack of faith in the promises of Jesus Christ when he established the Church and said he would be with us always and entrusted them with the power to loose and bind and to forgive or not forgive sins. Our faith is in God through his Son Jesus Christ and the promises he made not in a tradition of each man's personal testimony unguided by the Holy Spirit. The heresy started by Luther is a repudiation of the divinity of Christ by the very nature that he would have had to have failed in His promises.
Oh yes, the land of 26,000 interpretations and denominations...with 26,000 answers lol.
“The flip side to that coin is the centralized hierarchy where flawed theology can become doctrine with one bad leader.”
Christ protects His Church, through all the failings of human frailty. Now, do I believe Christ would fragment His Church into 26,000 interpretations and opinions? No, I do not. His Church stands with one voice for all time. That is one centralized hierarchy I will submit to.
