Well actually you couldn’t be more wrong. I returned after 10 years when I concluded that Sola Scriptura is an absolute fraud. The Tradition of the Church cannot be dismissed and replaced by the personal interpretations of scripture pedalled by 10’s of thousands of individual ministers. Try reading Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, and Papias of Hierapolis, Augustine and John Chrysostom, many of whom lived at the time of the Apostles and were not products of a wealthy, Emperor supported Church.

A church that was reconstructed, re-formed, or recreated after the image of men, some of them vile, vulgar, and wickedly antisemitic, 15 centuries after the faith was once delivered to the saints, and without apostles are not the Church that Jesus built upon the Apostle Peter, the other Jewish apostles and prophets, with the Messiah Himself as the chief cornerstone against which the gates of hell would not prevail.

There is one holy catholic and apostolic Church, from the days of the apostles to this day.
