nope.....not playing that game OR watching that video Johann. I asked YOU a question and I want to know what YOU think. Not what some guy in a video thinks. I gave you Scripture that clearly states that "Christ himself gave the apostles" and "God has appointed these in the church: first...

Who taught you this? Curious Mary

The men of The Church are "them" that are "specially called". Just like Scripture says: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Fascinating theory... Scripture says So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of...

oops....you missed this question: What do you believe Johann? I answered your question....Please don't dodge mine! :rolleyes:

According to Bruder’s Concordance the word apostle appears about eighty times and denotes often not all the disciples of the Lord, but some of them specially called. So, yes, I believe there are "apostles running around"! What do you believe Johann?

Got it...thanks for the clarification. Here is my work, which is part of your Christian history: Ignatius of Antioch, a student of the Apostle John: For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit”...

Your theory makes absoultly NO SENSE. Pauls "good intentions" was to teach Timothy the TRUTH and Pauls intention was to have Timothy teach other "faithful men" the TRUTH but Paul's intentions "did not go according to his desire for them"????????? Seriously? The TRUTH was not passed down to...

Ok....soooooo that makes no sense. I agree with you that an apostle (small 'a') is one who is sent. But I am asking you about the last Apostle (capital 'A', one of the 12). Is your theory that when the Apostle John died there was no longer an AUTHORITY OF MEN to be submissive too? And your...

Thanks Scott. You said that "the spirit of God did not remain with THEM" (emphasis mine). Who is "them"? Curious Mary

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. Whoever teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that is in accordance with godliness, 4 is conceited, understanding nothing, and has a morbid craving for...

Thanks Johann, You are right. We are instructed to "reprove gently". I do not feel you are butting in. Here is my edited version to @ScottA : How was there a 'breaking of succession of authority among men' when the Apostles LITERALLY replaced Judas (a man) with another man (Matthias)? And...

So Ronald, your men have taught you that Paul was instructing the flock to hold fast to the already written AND future writings/letters that would eventually become part of our bible known as the NT? Well, that is an interesting theory HOWEVER did you know that Christians at the time and for...

Well, that's what you say because it fits your bias. Others disagree with you: ESV So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. Berean Study Bible Therefore, brothers, stand firm and cling to the traditions we...

Thanks Scott. I don't feel you are "butting in". I appreciate everyone's opinion. You present an interesting theory. How was there a 'breaking of succession of authority among men' when the Apostles LITERALLY replaced Judas (a man) with another man (Matthias)? And when the Apostles voted for a...

Hmmmm....so according to what your men have taught you Jesus condemned man made tradition even though Scripture says stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. Once again, what your men have taught you is opposite of what Scripture says....:(

Thanks Robert for your opinion. I will stick with Scripture which says opposite of what you have 'proven to yourself': Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock...

I don't understand your question. It is not a matter of what I believe but a matter of what he actually wrote: First Clement: Clement of Rome (earlychristianwritings.com)

Hey tigger, Not sure why it is so important to you that Clement would need to comment on the Trinity for you to accept the Trinity doctrine of Christianity but here is what he said that alludes to it: Why is it that you harbor strife, bad temper, dissention, schism, and quarreling? Do we not...

Hmmmm....the majority belong to His adversary? That means that the majority of Christians have not been set free and don't know the truth (John 8:32).....only those that believe what you believe know the truth....which is the minority. You make it sound like God has lost and the adversary has won.
