Hierarchy and credibility

If a hierarchical religious system is not from Jesus Christ – not what He builds, then this means that those who have sought after hierarchical positions have no credibility.

The very nature of religious hierarchy means that the wrong people are attracted to positions of power: it will attract ambitious people who are willing to compromise the truth to get what they want.

And i don’t just mean traditional hierarchical structures, but also hierarchies like that inherent in the Christian media industry, where only those who aggressively promote themselves can work their way to the top, and yet while being ignorant that self-promotion and compromise is ungodly.
