D,

don’t look for logic in these accusations. Paul worked very hard trying to “organize” the Church and be sure it was faithfully teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

to see that very Church attacked for being “organized” is a joke.

In the church of Christ that Paul organized, the bishops and elders were all married with families...

1Ti 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

Now this couldn't possibly apply to anyone in your religion could it??? Not even your pope...

How do you guys build a religion and call it Christian when it's based on rejecting clear, plain scripture???
