Simplistic nonsense. Deny Petrine Authority (under which the early Church fathers put together the books of the Bible: they did not fall from the skies) and you’ll have thousands of loose canons on decks each providing their “own” Bible interpretation from the Moonies to the Mormons to every other Tom, Dick, and Harry mushroom Foursquare Church pastor. This is the curse of the Reformation.
Your own Church changed the words who do you blame for that one?
