Thanks.

Unfortunately you are taking the Bible literally which has a problem in itself. Even the originator of the reformation, Martin Luther, did not take the Bible in that manner. "The Cross in our Context" Dr. D. J. Hall. You also fail to realize that the church was and is a developing tradition whose authority is based on three things; the Bible, Tradition and reason. The counsels have played a large role in the developing tradition including giving us the Bible which, unfortunately, too many people take literally.

Shalom
