We agree again, the gospel can be taught by truck drivers.
But which gospel? According to whom? What happens when the truck driver teaches a different gospel - and a different Christ - than the fisherman?
Sola scriptura breaks down in practice; without an authority such as the bishops and councils, the gospel of Jesus and the Apostles would be lost.
IMHO, that is why Christ established His Church, gave it authority and created the hierarchy he did - which we see in Acts and continuously since.
