[.. I guess that's the part of the Bible the Protestants have rejected, even through it clearly says Christ came to save the world, sinners (all of us, because all are sinners, even the "saved"). ..]

He did, the Jews first, and the gentiles also.. Rejecting Christ and the one he left in charge of this planet(Holy Spirit) is the problem.. Rejecting How?.. Rejecting by following men, dogma, and councils of men(clergy).. which is of course SIN.. HIJACKing the Holy Spirits authority.. Which is the ultimate Sin..

WHo then is/are proper "church" human "officials"?..
Those appointed and anointed by the Holy Spirit...
We all were WARNED to be careful of these guys..
To watch them and guard against the hirelings(John ch 10)..
Not ONLY Protestant, RCC and EO posuers.. but other pretenders..
Those NOT appointed and anointed by the Holy Spirit..

How can we tell which is which?..
If you are not careful and watchful, YOU CAN'T..
And can be easily deluded, it takes discernment..
In which case(if fooled) you will then be used like a rented donkey..
Could be thats according to plan..
