OK...
So, you recognize that the church went SERIOUSLY off the rails (Rome), requiring the self-examination and course-correction of all the councils, movements, and heroes of the faith you've rightly mentioned...
But now, somehow, we're mature, good to go? There's no accumulated baggage, widely unrecognized and overlooked in our arrogant ignorance? "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing?" "Truly then you are the people, And with you wisdom will die!"
I'm not advocating some return to primitivistic, imagined "blissful early days." I AM saying that we're seriously off the rails again, on the verge of expectoration. It's well past time for another "controversy" to "shape our character and understanding."
Through the ages, our adversary has employed the subtleties of language to corrupt and derail the orthodoxy and praxis of God's people. And, sadly, it seems apparent to me that my approach to elucidating this continues to leave you unimpressed...😢
And so, brother, I appeal to you; won't you please give Tom Wadsworth a listen? He's quite coherent, even at 1.5x speed, and (unlike me) a seriously credentialed scholar.😀 Perhaps the way he explains the unbiblical praxis of what we've known as "church" all our lives will succeed in "stirring you up" where my words have failed...🫂😀
