I think the trouble with church bodies and the interpretation of churches by believers and non believers is the human element which is often corrupted by there own imperfections sins and egos , speaking for myself i have basically always had a strong faith and belief in god and jesus , but in todays society i find myself constantly wrestling with temptations of one kind or another often giving in to them . What makes church leaders any different ? nothing exept that there in the publics eye and if somethings not politically correct these days youll be judged by the multitudes but then again not judged at all . Jesus showed us the way to live and treat others he led by example and that was his purpose as well as to save us from our sins . Our lives have been engulfed by consumerism ,electronics and our comforts ,hardly similar settings than were around in biblical days .
