You asserted: "The mission of the church is to help us attain eternal life with God. A difficult task."

Because you conflate your org with the Ekklesia of Jesus The Christ, you fail. It is clear that you do not know The Gospel of The Grace of God In Christ. Even JESUS refutes your effort, for HE said it is a light burden and HIS path is easy. Strive all you can and you will NEVER attain that which ONLY God can give, by His Grace, to HIS Glory. You will never earn salvation. You CAN turn your pride aside, stop striving, and accept The Promise of God and be born from above.

The wise man listens to instruction and strives to base his life upon it. The wise humbly accept that they do not know all things and must be taught by God.

But fools, those who hate wisdom, prattle on and on about their own opinions. They believe anything is true simply because they think it.

It is difficult to reason with them, because although they scoff at religious truth as mere “religion,” it is really they who exhibit a far more extreme version of “blind faith” than any Christian believer who sees faith and reason as compatible.
