Apparently, the EO extrapolates that quest into one which is undertaken by a hierarchy of men whom believers bow to rather than a journey made by individuals whose only mediator between God and them is Jesus Christ.
Ultimately, it's all about "to whom do you kneel?" And the more I read, the more I realize the EO and RC really do deny the work of the Holy Spirit in individuals.
Actually the Orthodox look to Christ while protestants bow down before themselves and their 'knowledge'; perhaps this is why so many protestants are tempted by the gnostic gospels (the gnostics held knowledge above God or Christ too).
It's simply not conceivable that 330+ bishops and thousands of clergy and laity meeting within a century or 2 of Christ death were meeting in the presence of the Holy Spirit. It's quite conceivable that a handful folks meeting thousands of years after Christ death, reading a translation written by a King or a biased 'scholar' in fact meet in the presence of something quite other than the Holy Spirit.
