It absolutely isn't clear and that's why there are such great variations in interpretation from denomination to denomination and from person to person in Protestantism
Based on that view, scripture is of no value unless a Church papa who calls himself Orthodox tells you how to view it. That couldn't be more heretical. Why did Jesus even bother speaking to people at all when an Orthodox teacher wasn't there to interpret him? You see how ridiculous it is when this logic is taken to its conclusion?
What's getting in people's way is sin, not any lack of clarity in scripture which the Apostles and Prophets recorded. Your tactic supposition is that all these denominations are earnestly trying to submit their lives to the Lord, willing to do whatever it takes, just praying for truth and God is denying them because they refused to submit to an Orthodox "father"' and his interpretation of scripture. And despite their earnest pleas and surrender they are led astray by relying soley on their own minds and the Holy Spirit which are INCAPABLE of showing truth from the scripture that God gave us for guidance.
Nonsense.
There's only one Orthodox eschatology, Christology and cosmology.
And there is only one true message of salvation. You can call yourself Orthodox, Cyclodox or Monkeypox but what matters is the truth.
The problem is I've seen critical looks at Orthodox traditions (the traditions of men) which are extra biblical and just plain wrong. You don't need to call yourself a special name "Orthodox" and wear special uniforms to read clear instructions in scripture. God gave us basic reasoning ability, which when combined with a surrender to the Holy Spirit reveals Biblical truth.
It only requires basic reasoning ability to know that if Jesus said "call no man father" you do NOT then make calling religious leaders father part of church tradition.
You also do NOT add to scripture and deify people who were not deified in scripture.
You also do NOT have any kind of holy "relics" or idols that you worship. The instructions in scripture are clear about that.
A good Christian preacher and church is far more scripturally sound than that. Or should I just hang up this brain that God gave me and give it to some particular group who claims to speak for God better than his written word? No and never.
