So, why doesn't Scripture uniquely endorse a specific denomination ?

[Whateverist]

I note Martin Luther was able to cite Scripture copiously to support his contentions the Roman Catholic Church wasn't, as I like saying, "doing it right" and to use those same Scriptures to base his schismatic church upon.

-however-

as the centuries have passed since Luther's time, even his Lutheran Church has seen fit to 'adjust' Luther's take on things, even repudiating some of his contentions (yet while still maintaining the Lutheran trade mark!) and the Lutheran church itself has spawned numerous schisms of its own.

Is the fault with the people trying to implement Lutheranism, or is it something deeper, a fault, pernicious and saturating in Holy Scripture itself ??

A given person examining Luther's 93 thesis and the history of the church, and then studying the Bible would say, "Well, obviously! The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is the One True Faith!"  and yet another person, reviewing all the above information would say, "How about that!, Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod has NAILED IT !!! Praise Jesus!!"

Where does this come from?  Are my 2 hypothetical individuals screwing up?  Or did Luther screw up?


Or is it God ?

Luther admitted to manipulating Scripture to teach his theology. He was also very anti-Semitic and his rhetoric of "burn the synagogues" and "kick the Jews out of Germany" was borrowed by the Nazis.

The entire church manipulates Scripture to support their theologic nonsense. The only ones who have it right are the authors of Scripture.

Having read the NT in it's original autographed language I see the unity of one body. However, the clergy divides us infinitely with their theology. Theology, which should be the science of God, has become the showcase of mans goofy ideas! As my brother said:

"Soon after the end of the first-century, so-called theologians of every stripe went to work busily adding their own little twists and spins to the Word of God. In time, these little nuances became unquestionable dogma backed up by absolute power. Many have paid the ultimate price for not following the religious line of the day in lockstep conformity."

To be fair, even if theologians had chosen perfect translations of what the original authors of the bible had written, we might still have those men's goofy ideas.
