And you are preaching churchiology.

I think I just coined a new word. Thanks Kosta50!

Whatever feeds you ego, I don't care. That doesn't change the fact that the Churech existed before the Christian Bible did. The Church functioned, lived we would say, without the Bible for many years, so the Bible is not the sole source of its authority and tradition, of which the Apostles were an integral and crucial part.

These are facts. You can stick your head into the sand and pretend that nothing is true except what's in your mind...that's always an option. Cyber reality revisited.

Too late. Already done really - it’s called “ecclesiology”. By the way, did you mean something other than what you wrote? I ask because “churchiology” would just mean the “study of the church”. Bibliolatry means the WORSHIP of the book or the Bible. What would be wrong with studying the Church? Nothing. Worshiping the Bible? Yeah, that’s a problem.
