The approach of this article is the same as most enemies of Christ.

Instead of being humble to God and relying on what He provides, abiding by His direct authority, and intaking the bread of life He gives, they seek to paint the access to Him as being through third party worldly intermediaries.

It assumes a believer must judge God in order for God to be justifiable in how He is approached.

Why not instead just remain faithful to Him through faith in Christ and let God handle how the believer is sanctified.

Belief is His good work in us, not our work to win His approbation.

But faith must be true and not false.

Some of the early radical Protestants sects even rejected the need for the Scriptures. It notes that each human is unique, but ignores the need of society to define him. A boy raised by Wolves is certain to be mute.
