"I again repeat I believe in God and not men. Spiritual leaders from 1500 years ago were simply men"

Yes they were, but your intent in incorrect, but they had ONE additional quality to their ordinary humanity--they were anointed by Christ and given grace to perform their Church appointments.

The special grace given to the Apostles by Jesus was transferred to succeeding generations by the laying on of hands and the subsequent anointing and gracing by God. It was Jesus who established His Church and it was Jesus who gave he Apostles and their successors that authority.

If you really believed that they were simply ordinary men WITHOUT A SPECIAL ANOINTING AND GRACING FROM GOD, then how can you accept their CANON OF SCRIPTURE?
