“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
1 John 2:16-17

Another excellent presentation Somewhere I heard that as one examines errors through Church history; they're similar to a hollow point bullet to the skull. The entrance wound is small and clean. The exit a huge mess. Mass conversion enforced by leaders with a political agenda....led to all manner of corruption such as worship of saints. Visible penance not for God's forgiveness; but the accounting of men led to all manner of flagellation and eventually indulgences.
Thus spoke Nehemiah, who with good intentions commanded divorce and forbade marriage to Egyptians; neither part of Scripture. Follow Ezra and Nehemiah 400 years later and we have the Pharisees. It I'd not always clear where Scripture is descriptive vs prescriptive.
The first such good intentions by man in adding to Scripture seems to be recorded in Gen 3. Nowhere does Scripture command for the woman not go eat the forbidden fruit. Neither to also not touch it.
Not Biblical but true. Good intentions pave the road to hell.
That's why I am an agnochronobaptist. 😅

A recent report from a missionary team said almost all the evangelical Christians had shrines in their homes with statues of Jesus

The need to see your god is wrapped up in paganism
