agreed. but clearly as more came in to the fold it was necessary for some structure to be in place to train teachers and leaders to make sure the flock were adequately cared for...
The early church used those within the body to care for the body, not professional clergy.

Revenue is gross income, not profit. I am neither Mormon or Catholic so I cannot attest to their systems, but I can attest to my church's. You cannot make the blanket statements that you make without fully understanding what you're talking about. I can tell you that your statements are not universally accurate.
My statement is speaking of the religious system in general. Of course there are building based, professional clergy systems that struggle...I've been a part of those. The sad thing is there shouldn't be those systems, struggling or not. Jesus nor the disciples taught such systems.

I differ with your statements about buildings and organized churches as well and see scripture on my side there.
Point me to an example of teaching the building based, professional clergy system in scripture.

In the end, we're not going to agree so let's focus on what we have in common. We're both brothers in Christ and that is what matters.
No doubt Christ is first and foremost.

professional clergy system
This seems to be the root of your trouble with church. Why?

My daughter was involved with a group at LSU and I found that to be cultish.

It's trouble because it's a religious system of man that's not taught in the bible. There's no example of a professional clergy system in the NT Church.
