Why would God, in His kindness toward us through Jesus Christ, send His only begotten Son, His glory, to die for us, and then make our way to Him dependant on our pitiful selves? Why would He give up His Son on our behalf, and then make us go through a maze of traditions and doctrines to get to Him? Why would a kind and loving Creator of the Universe make our salvation dependant on rituals, and creeds, and canon, after He has told us "It is FINISHED"? That would be a cruel god who would take away what he promised. Who would add demands after telling us "It is FINISHED." ?
EXCELLENT POINTS.
