Raised in a protestant/evangelical faith based congregation.

NOTHING a pope or prophet or apostle can do to wash away your sins.

Why not just look to Christ, instead of mortal men?

Matt 10:
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

Because it's not mortal men we're looking for. It's the immortal God that sent the prophet. It's not optional. To reject a true prophet is to reject the God that sent him.

Prophets are sent so that people can exercise faith. If God showed up everything something needed to be said or done, there would be no faith. Everyone would have a sure knowledge.
