Funny how how that part was left out of Scripture. Why would Christ come and tear down the walls between humanity and God; and then insist that a bureaucratic, ritual driven church be founded?

It wasn’t left out. Christ founded a Church. Certainly it was no Protestant sects since none of them existed for another 1500 years. Who does that leave? Your only choices are the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Churches.

Because He BECAME a man. Christ took on flesh so He could walk among us and die on the cross. In other words, He used the things of this world - flesh, the cross, bread, wine - to accomplish His desire (to teach and redeem mankind). He gathered followers and even separated them into two groupes: Apostles and Disciples. He told them the secret understanding of the parables, but no one else (Mark 4:11). Why? Why didn’t Christ just tell everyone? Why did Christ give the Apostles power and authority he gave to no one else (John 20:19-23)?
