his successor has his keys and the threefold office!
Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22

Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

The apostles teaching is Christ’s teaching, Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4
My old Pastor said to me once, when I asked that question, that there is no such thing as absolute truth because each person has their own truth based on their perspective. I don't agree nor will I ever agree. God is Spirit. That is an absolute truth and we can go on.....Jesus is the Son of God, there another. The Holy Spirit will come and dwell in those who have been saved by grace through faith....
Yes God is truth! Jn 14:6
Truth must be revealed by God, and in its fullness in the sacred deposit of faith by Christ to his church! Eph 4:5 Jude 1:3 and must be taught by the church, or proposed for our belief by the apostles!

As I said Faith, Peter is long since gone, however Christ's brothers are not. You are quite correct, those anointed ones, particularly the assigned faithful slave has those authorities, in fact it is their responsibility. From the Law covenant, God has put in place people to fill those positions, He is not a God of disorder by any means sir.
