So it seems you worship “the Church”.. any attack on your view of what the church “is” is an attack on your spirituality.. I have noticed this with many Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox and Mormons and others..
You must believe what you see.. I do not.. We all see what we see..
So I do not oppose you believing that..
You may not agree with my use of the word “worship”.. as we do not agree on use of others words.. I suspect there are many words we translate differently.. Same with democrats they see things completely differently than I do.. same thing really.. Could be the situation with many people..
Human life is indeed a “test”... some gravitate to fleshly views others gravitate to spiritual views.. I suspect thats the way it is supposed to be.. God is a genius.. We choose our own poisons.. He don’t choose them we do..
I see churchs as half-way houses or drunk tanks used to sober up those drunk on the things of this world.. When they sober up.. “the church” kicks them out or seems silly to them and they leave.... Whats not to like..
You misinterpret due to different definitions of Church.
I noticed you ignored that you can’t have Scripture without the Church...It is illogical, beyond reason.
Do you belive that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and was crucified and arose again after 3 days?
