I have a Bible, a brain and prayer. NO ONE aside from Jesus Christ himself needs to come between me and God.

Nobody is trying to come between you and God.

This idea holds water only if you view the Church as an obstacle on the road to heaven, rather than an assistance. The Church exists, not to deprive of us of the truth or to hide it from us, but rather to safeguard it and transmit it untainted to our children.

The Church is not the government which wants to take your money and curtail your freedoms. The Church is a father.......a mother........someone wiser than you who wants to preserve you from danger and guide you along the safe path rather than allow you to wander down blind alleys which unguided and left to our own devices, we often do.
