Does one need to return to the church? I understand the do not fore-sake they fellow worshipers part but isn't it more important to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior?

The church is ruled by men not God - I don't think I want to give my tithing to lawyers and victims of what the church has done to our boys.

I think it's safe to say that the Church accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as the Savior. But does it end there, or do we need to worship Him the way He taught us to, and as the Apostles and Christians throughout the ages have done? "Accepting" Jesus Christ as Saviour carries with it some awesome responsibilities and duties, and worship is where it all starts.

Romans 3:23 "For ALL have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."

That includes Priests.

There was only One who was perfect and roamed the earth.

Your post of. "The church is ruled by men not God..." is completely contrary to the Scriptures.

It was the Lord who built the Church, gave Peter the keys, and will be with the Church until the end of time.
