I was banned for saying "All lives matter". Anyone else?
Here is the opening opWRONG on all counts.
ALL of the verses I cited pertained to the LEADERS of Christ's Church - and NOT just the 12 Apostles.
A glaring example of this is John 16:12-15, where Jesus yells His Apostles that the Holy Spirit will guide them to ALL truth - and that the Holy Spirit will take from what is His and give it to them. This is AUTHORITY He is talking about in this passage. It is the very SAME Authority that the Church wielded at the Council of Rome in 382 when declaring the Canon of Scripture - LONG AFTER the Apostles were dead and gone.
So, you're WRONG about Authority only being given to the Apostles. This Authority is SUCCESSIVE - just as we see with the succession of Matthaias to the Bishoppric (Episkopay) of Judas in Acts 1:20.
Why in the world do you persist in shoving your twisted RCC agenda on others, beats me. All the fruit it has produced amongst it's leaders are a bunch of sexual retarded pedophiles.I was banned for saying "All lives matter". Anyone else?
