Sounds like a commune of sorts, with the Apostles as heads of a benevolent theocracy. I doubt that that would go over well with most Westerners. So we have the point where the Church, in Scripture was given authority and we can accept that, or else we have the individual picking not only the Scripture that he wants, but then puts his own interpretation on it.You're calling the Apostles, the clergy, the hierarchy the Church...
You couldn't be further from the truth...
