1. McDonalds can make a very similar claim. Scripture does not on most issues.
This is different from the neighborhood Foursquare Church pastors where congregants migrate from one church to another until the pastor interprets scripture acquiring to their views. This could be a gay pastor, or a Rev. Wright, or a Joel Osteen.
2. “You selectively choose your straw men....like pedophile priests.”
A. McDonald’s does not teach a universal truth of salvation, and even their menus differ from China to India to Pakistan to New York
B. You said “straw men”? Really! Comparing the lives of individuals with what is Truth is worse than a straw man’s arguments. It is illogical from the get-go. Sinners can become saints but you can’t change the ONE truth.
C. And just so that you know, we have Protestant pastor pedophile, adultery, fornication, and even murder
“just so that you know, we have Protestant pastor pedophile, adultery, fornication, and even murder”
Indeed as I pointed out, the problem is the old nature that is present in the life of Christians until the resurrection.
Kindest regards.
“McDonalds does not teach a universal truth of salvation, and even their menus differ from China to India to Pakistan to New York”
McDonalds has a very, very specific book of extensive franchise rules - their universal truth. Their menus (or in your denomination, rites) do vary.
