Authority of the Apostles!

What authority does Christ have?
What power does Christ have?
What mission / ministry does Christ have?

Peter, the apostles and their successors have the same authority, power, and mission! Jn 20:21 as my father sent me, even so send I you!

The apostles are Christ’s successors!
They have authority to send others as well, apostle means one who is sent!

Hebrews 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20

Keys of authority! And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments




Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Mt 16:18 Mt 28:19 Acts 1:17 acts 8:31 & 35 Lk 10:16 Jn 8:32 Jn 13:20 Jn 15:5 Jn 16:13 Jn 20:21-22 eph 2:20

Lk 10:16
He who hears you hears me...

John 13:20
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

matt 16:18 shall not prevail

Matt 16: 8 prevails every day. A gate is not an offensive weapon it is a defence. The gates of hell is a weapon that tries to keep the church into going to the world and rescuing people out from Satans grasp.

The church has been doing that for over 2000 years now.

Jesus church would follow his teachings.

Is 7:14 a virgin shall conceive and bear a son!
(One son, singular)

Right! that means she did n't have twins or triplets! and it doesn't mean she wasn't to have children after jesus was born as Matthew 1 clearly shows she had sex after jesus was born!

James is the son of zebedee, and the other James is the son of Alpheus not Joseph!
Matt 10:2-3

Matthew 13:54-56
King James Version

54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

55 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Bible says you are wrong!

In Hebrew culture any close relative can be called brother or sister, lot was called Abraham’s brother but was his nephew.

Gen 12:5 and Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son..

Gen 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are Brothers.

This is where your ignorance in the difference between Greek and Hebrew and th elanguages come in.

In Genesis Cain is called brother with the same word, but a different construct. And in Hebrew trhey had one word for actual brother and relationship brethren. context determined usage. Lot is most often called Abrahams brothers' son which gives us the knowledge.

Greek is diffrent and the context is Jesus immediate family.


Regarding Mat. 13:55 and Mk. 6:3, two of the four "brethren" are James and Judas of Alphaeus (cf. Mat. 10:2-3, Lk. 6:15-16, Act. 1:13). The third, Joseph, is identified in Mk. 15:40 as the brother of James of Alphaeus. The fourth, Simon, is identified in Mat. 13:55 and Mk. 6:3 as the brother of Joseph, James, and Judas of Alphaeus. Therefore, all four are were the sons of Alphaeus, not St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

When Jesus was twelve they went up to Jerusalem, the holy family, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. Where are the brothers and sisters?

YOu are now making up a narrative


by saying a name that is the same are the same people without biblical proof.!

And the narrative was about jesusnot his brothers or sisters. Were Joseph and Mary wearing clothes? How do you know it doesn't say so! We can play that silly little game all day long if you wish.

Jesus on the cross gives His mother to John, why? Why not James or a brother? Perhaps the law of Moses requires a mother to be given to the next oldest son? Because he was an only Son!
Only begotten of the Father, only begotten of the Mother.


1. Jesus brothers and sisters had probably not yet believed yet, were not at the cross. By Jesus giving Mary to John, it strongly implioes by Jewish law that Joseph was dead, and Jesus as the eldest and first born had been responsible for Mary. Now dying He gave the care to onwe who was there!

2. The bible declares Jesus the only begotten of the Father, but no where hints as the only begotten of Mary! The RCC after it became corrupted by pagan influence adapted that pagan doctrine to Marry when the bible does not!

paganism is the worship of creation

no worship here
No adoration
No sacrifice offered

YOu don't even know what paganism is then!

and sorry what you do to Mary and all the prayers in a catholoci prayer book dedicated to Mary command otherwise.

And to quote former President Bush, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck....it's a duck"!
