Why is it that when Catholics want to end a discussion they seem to gravitate to focusing on the orgs, like catholiciism, or Methodism, etcetera, rather than focusing upon the Lord, God with us? Dozens of dogma points have been manufactured and posed as truth by the catholic church over the centuries. These aspects did not exist in the early body of believers but got added as bureaucracies developed.

When Jesus established The New Covenant, HE identified it as His body of believers, hence the term ekklesia was used to focus upon ALL those who believe/faithe that Jesus is The Savior, their individual Savior. Jesus did not establish and organization and His Holy Spirit does not oversee any particular org, rather The Holy Spirit is individually raising up a bunch of newborns int he way that they should go. By God's Grace indulging use without chastising instantly, there are many, many different additions to the simple Gospel of Grace in Christ, thought up by men (and a few women) forming orgs, the largest and most prominent being the catholic org.

Some of the additions are outright blasphemies, not the authority of The Holy Spirit working in the Ekklesia.
