@Taken already covered that in post #512

It's not personal. It's not about holding anything against them. It's about the Truth.

Ummmmm....No, Titus and Timothy received from Paul. None the less, thank you for your opinion.

WOH.......Since you are being coy and not being direct in your communication I can only make assumptions here. I ASSUME what you are saying is that the people who wear the 'tall hat and fancy robe' are the bishops, cardinals and the pope of The Church. I can only ASSUME that because there are...

Congratulations.....You remember a few passages from the bible. What's your point?

We can talk about the allegation that YOU brought up of what Catholics believe: What do Catholics believe in regard to being an Apostle of Christ?

Yup WOH, and the 12 Apostles also received "meat directly from Christ" and not from "a succession of men". Sooooo what's your point? :IDK: Paul receiving the Gospel directly from Christ cancels out Apostolic Succession. Is that your theory? If so, your theory is debunked by Paul himself since...

What do Catholics believe in regard to being an Apostle of Christ?

Dear Truthnightmare, If The Church was not built on Peter, them whom was The Church built on. And to clarify; I don't think that Peter was the ONLY person the early church was built on. I just believe, as Scripture shows, that Peter was the leader of the Apostles AFTER the crucifixion. Mary

Scott, you are confusing me. You say you know that Apostolic Succession is true, yet you deny that The Catholic Church leadership is a result of Apostolic Succession. Since you KNOW that Apostolic Succession is true, provide your evidence of it. Thank you in advance.....Mary

Hey Scott. If a person (Protestant church leader) doesn't believe or practice what The Church teaches, adhere to Church dogma or doctrine, why would The Church select that person as a leader of The Church? That make no sense. Since The Church is adhering to Apostolic Succession, choosing...

ONCE AGAIN brakelite, you have given your opinion and nothing else to back it up. However, you did inadvertently refer to Scripture. And by using that reference you added more credence to my facts and less credence to your opinions: Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which...

I like your confidence Scott. I don't understand your privately select apostles to their own choosing statement.

Thanks RedFan. That was very well put. Apostolic Succession is the successive teaching of the Truth for the last 2,000 years. @ScottA does not believe in Apostolic Succession which he means that he does not believe the Truth has been passed down to his denomination. We believe Scripture. We...

Thanks Brakelite. There is only one Church that was started by Christ with one true doctrine and one teaching! That one true church/teaching/doctrine continued with the Apostles. The Apostles then chose other men to teach that one Truth and one doctrine etc etc until the end of time. You...

Thank you for your opinion brakelite! If you would have given some Scripture to back up your opinion, I would consider what you have been taught by your men about elders/church leaders as plausible. But with no Scripture to back up what you said, it makes what you said your opinion. I prefer to...

Thanks for your opinion, Scott.

Correct me? Wow.....so what you are saying is NOT your opinion but the God given truth? Thanks for your opinion, Scott. Respectfully, Mary

Notice Scott how I gave Scripture to confirm/very/prove Apostolic Succession. And you gave your opinion on Apostolic Succession. So humor me. What don't I know that you know? If you said it in a previous post refer to that and I will read it. Mary

Nope Scott, no hole in the Apostolic Succession teaching for it is written in Scripture: 23 So they nominated two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. 24 Then they prayed, “Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen 25 to take over...
