Hello Mike, thanks for taking the time to respond.

You said:

“So, Pastors and clerics can distort the word, change the interpretation to their wishes, lead their flock astray as long as they SAY they’re following Jesus.”

Not at all, my friend.

I addressed this at the end of the article. We have to acknowledge that not everyone who says they are Christians are actually following Jesus.

If you are not truly following Jesus, then no matter what label you call yourself, you’re not playing the same game. If you’re not following Jesus, then you are not a Christian, no matter what your pastor, church, denomination, or affiliation is.
