You're admittance and confession that your pre-eminent authority in faith and practice is an ecclesiastical body made up of finite mortal error-prone men and women ...sinners like yourself...is proof positive that your church is antichrist...it has taken the place of Christ.
When we consider the whore of Revelation 17 and note that on her head is written name's' of blasphemy, we must consider the question, "what is blasphemy? The answer is found in a couple of places in the gospels, basically it means claiming the power to forgive sin...claiming to be equal to God...claiming to have the prerogatives in authority that belong only to God.
We read that this antichrist system blasphemes against God, His sanctuary, and those in heaven. In other words, by claiming to have authority that belongs only to God, this antichrist seeks to set up a rival system that is a counterfeit to the true God, the gospel, and His church. There is only one place I know where can be found such a system, that claims the power to forgive sin...has set up a false sanctuary with a priesthood, an altar, and way to heaven that incorporates all manner of traditions and superstitions, as well as a rival head in charge over all, the pope. Nothing personal Mary, but that is Antichrist...a rival instead of the true God, and His true gospel.
Should I surrender to everything my church tells me to do? Absolutely not. If it agrees with the purpose for church...the publication of truth, then no problem. If it is in contradiction to truth, then my obligation is to God and Him alone, regardless of what the church says. And yes, I am and always will be the one to decide "what is truth". God wants no-one to leave his mind and conscience to the control of others.
