.....NEEDS a group of power seeking old men to tell people what his word says? Nah.

God doesn't NEED anything....however, He does USE mankind to spread and further enhance His word...

Yes, he does use people.....that does not mean that men create a hierarchy based on their own power seeking aspirations, independent of his revealed will, twist scripture and then attach his name as a seal of approval, after the fact, in order to secure their own power and authority over persons. ......False religions, teachers and cults have wrongfully done so for centuries....the catholic church did likewise and continues to “tweak” itself to retain it’s position and authority.
