I refer to the simple fact that those outside The Church who wish to put legal boundaries on God keep making fools of themselves as they tend to have the residual effects of being man-made, i.e. legalism, where they say it has to be ONLY this OR that whereas God says this AND thatYou'll have to be more specific...I really don't know what you're referring to...
All these are man-made, unlike the Apostolic Church which was God-made, taught through CHrist's teachings to His Apostles and nurtured by the Holy Spirit. Only by God's grace has it thrived through 2000 years. In the meanwhile, all heresies outside it have died, or will die.
The Large problem is: your religion doesn't at all resemble the one the Apostles spend a great deal of time speaking about...

But then again, sadly many Protestant denominations don't either.

And, of course, if you do read the works of early Christians you'll see that their beliefs, traditions, even organisation was akin to that of the Apostolic Church.
The Church faithfully adheres to the Faith as handed down by Christ through His Apostles. We've been doing this for 2000 years.
