It is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for the perfect.

With not a shred of Scriptural support for that portrayal.

Ephesians 4:11-14 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,…..

It’s not for sinners, it’s for saints to equip them for the work of the ministry, not to assign it to a separate clerical class who does it all.

Jesus Christ disagrees with you...

+++And Jesus answered them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick;
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
