The idea of a universal church is from the pagan sorcerer Shimon.
Yeshua described his church as “wherever two or three of you are gathered in my name.”
The term “Christian” was coined in Pagan Antioch. Yeshua was known as Messiach by his followers, not as the “cristos,” which was more of a pagan “man-become-god” rather than God with us, that described Yeshua.
The true followers of Yeshua’s Way were never called Christians. Eastern and Western “Christianity” are man made, and have nothing in common with Yeshua’s Way, which is the fulfillment of the worship Yehova delivered at Mt. Sinai.
I know that you do not understand this, and are all wrapped up in the pagan pagentry that has room for men’s theology, but no room for Yehova and his word. The only canon of Yehova’s word is the Torah and Tanakh. He canonized them himself. Subsequent writings are to be judged by their conformance with them.
Yeshua left no one here on Earth with authority to canonize anything. A good example of this is Peter’s attempt to appoint Mathias an apostle. Yehova cancelled that and appointed Paul, and Mathias was never heard of again.
Let scripture guide, not the ideas of men.
