@SuperLutheran Saying the Earth is 6000 years old does not lead to victory.

The guy I'm replying to said "the Book is Christ, Christ is the Book." Sounds exclusive - unless you're using a bespoke definition of Book, which he no doubt would.

I have honestly met dozens of pastors who are lazy in that way and many others.

The institutional church did not reach the nadir it's at right now with a full staff of good pastors on hand. Be real.
