Your religion has built it's entire existence and so-called infallible authority on this one set of verses! You then proceed to assume that from that point on, every subsequent, self-anointed church head has inherited this authority. Regardless of agreement with the Bible, whatever this person - good or evil - deems as dogma must be accepted under penalty of excommunication.

We have freedom of religion in this country (for now, anyway), you obviously can believe whatever you want. I, prefer to believe what the Word of God says and words, in context, mean what they say.

You have something even more important. God gave you the gift of free choice. You may choose to remain in His Church or leave it. I believe you have already addressed this in a previous post.
