With not a shred of Scriptural support for that portrayal.
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.”

That does not support the spiritual hospital paradigm of the church.
It’s not to nurse people along to spiritual health.
It’s to equip believers for the work of the ministry, which ALL believers are called to do, not just a special clerical caste tasked with the job.
