The scriptures you have presented here have many times been explained for the truth they represent and the correct context in which they are intended...for you...but to no avail as you appear unable to be receptive to the truth unless it is sanctioned by your church first and foremost....as in the past.
Some people look for a church...others for the Christ and find the fellowship of believers with Christ as the head of that body....... Some cannot believe the truth apart from their church....others know the truth and their church reflects that truth.
What is truth? Christ and the centrality of all there is about Him.
As if individual Protestants don't do the same thing? What hypocrisy!
and these dictated by leaders of a church organization is common to many who have strayed from the centrality of Christ Jesus
Which is somehow "worse" than dictated by individual private interpretations of any Tom, Dick or Harriette with the Bible in their hands who supposedly, magically, never strayed form the centrality of Christ (according to their own definition)?
No they haven't. They have been spun away. No sale. You guys don't understand the scripture and run away from it. "See that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?" shouldn't require any "explanations", it means what it says.
