The Church for one is not a human institution.
shhh, i know that and you know that - i want to see what our unbelieving friends think.
LOL!
Of course it is (your Church, that is)...Your religion is based and built upon human/pagan philosophy...
You pick out a few verses of scripture and try to understand it and explain it with the only tool you have; man's wisdom; philosophy...
A Catholic priest can't make it thru seminary without massive amounts of education in philosophy...
