This is the way it looks to me:

To start with for many decades there was no written scripture but the faith (tradition only) was what brought Christ to successive generations. Also after only a few decades the organization of priests, bishops, Archbishops, .... came into being. There is a line of succession from the apostles in the Orthodox Church.

I don't know what RCC means so cannot comment.

Well, that's the official position. I don't agree.

Jealously guarding His own, loving the worship of His people, wanting all of His children to be in unity and peace, Glory to Himself without dilution and only Him that He deserves from us.

God's glory is His chief aim. In order to be glorified, He must be known. We exist to know God and enjoy Him that His excellencies may be known and His glory proclaimed.

Every once in a while I feel very strongly that He is way too good to me. He gives and gives and He will give to me not only everlasting life but also everything I have or will have on this Earth of His. The greatest thing He has ever given me is the knowledge of how much He loves me. Irreplaceable.
