Not true. You have accepted the 1,500 year teaching and I have accepted the 2,000 year teaching.....soooo whomever taught you what you believe about 1 Timoty 3:15 taught you wrong....you should ignore them.

Soooo when Scripture says that Mathias was to take the place of Judas in this ministry and apostleship that is not Apostolic Succession????

If the CC has perverted it the Protestant Churches have doubled down.....

Soooo you are not confident that what you are being taught by other men is a succession of Apostolic teaching? Curious Mary

Really?? An Apostle teaches another man and that man is supposed to teach other men so they can teach other men (4 generations) but that is not Apostolic Succession??? o_Oo_Oo_Oo_O

You are right. The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of truth, has the authority to treat someone as a pagan or tax collector. Where does Scripture say that Nondenom40 has that authority or is the pillar and foundation of truth? Curious Mary

Soooo you can tell me who you don't trust.....can you tell me whom you do trust? Patient Mary

2 Timothy is a pastoral letter from Paul to Timothy. Paul, an Apostle, is instructing Timothy, a pastor, to entrust to faithful men what he taught Timothy. Those men would then teach other men. Paul teaches Timothy....Timothy teaches faithful men.... faithful men teach other faithful...

Well.....now I see who we need to go to for the Truth since you KNOW that the Apostolic and ECF's were wrong on a number of things. Please enlighten us.....

Hi Willie, The OP by Soverign Grace alludes to woman preachers. With that said Galatians has NOTHING to do with this matter. It does not cancel out what the rest of Scripture clearly teaches on this matter. 1 Timothy is a pastoral letter. In it Paul says he does not permit woman to teach or...

Hi, This is not my take. It is the take of Scripture and the teaching of the early Church leaders. 1 Timothy is a pastoral letter. In it Paul says he does not permit woman to teach or to have authority over men. If we reject the teachings of the Apostles we reject the teachings of Jesus...

No, some have not been faithful men. Martin Luther would be a good example. Are you faithful to the teachings of the Apostles? The sins of men do not dictate the doctrine of the Church. If "Apostolic succession within the RCC is a total myth" then which Church does contain that succession of...

The criteria of guile and vanity is subjective. I trust the writings of the Apostolic and ECF's. Men who walked and talked with the Apostles and students of the Apostles. You trust anyone without guile or vanity. Do you think you can trust any writings from Joseph Smith? Calvin? Luther...

Lol....I see what you mean. We can learn from dead people thru their writings. To suggest that we can't means we should throw out all dead peoples writings. Apostolic Succession in Scripture: Acts 1:21-26 which is the clearest example of this. Jesus said to his Apostles, "he who receives...

Hi, Thank you. I learned something today and it is because of YOU. I agree with you.....there is no Scriptural or historical Christian writings to support Demas returning. I was wrong. Respectfully, Mary

Hi Giuliano, No, dead people were not teaching Timothy. o_O The passage I referenced states "entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." That means that Paul taught Timothy what was taught to him by the Apostles and Jesus. Paul then told Timothy to teach "reliable...

You crack me up...

Ummmmm.......and so were the dead men you despise who teach opposite of what you teach. Try to explain away the faithful (dead) men spoken of in 2 Timoty 2:2.... Patient Mary

When people twist scripture.....I get "offended".....not the word I would use but I digress.
