Is apostolic succession biblical?

[101G]

How did Peter exercise this privilege? If we recall that (a) it is only through New Birth that a person can enter and see the Kingdom of God and (b) that it is only through the preaching of the Gospel that a sinner can believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be born again, then it becomes quite clear that (c) when Peter preached to the Jews on the day of Pentecost, he used one of those keys and 3,000 souls were saved, and (d) when Peter preached to the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius, he used the other key to usher in a whole group of Gentiles into the Kingdom of God. (e) Then we seen Peter using his authority to bind and loose sins in (1) the case of Ananias and Sapphira as well as (2) in the case of Simon the Sorcerer.

thanks for confirming what was said,

well Peter is not here any more, and if any man be in Christ he's a new creation. and Christ has the Keys, and if one is in him, he, if the Lord Jesus choose have the same keys, for it is vested in him.

To All,

These types of circumstances occur in the end-times/last-days.

Welcome to the Tribulation ...
Bobby Jo

well Bobby Jo the Tribulation has been going on for a while, scripture, Revelation 1:9 "I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."

see the tribulation is called GREAT, as in the term used "the Great tribulation", because it's over a long period of TIME. John was in it, well as other apostles and disciples, and early church christians. and believe it or not we are in it to. when it comes upon you, you'll know.

First apostle Peter:
Mt 10:2

Jesus and Peter are one:
Mt 17:27

Peter received the keys of the kingdom: Mt 16:18

Peter commanded to confirm his breathren:
Lk 22:32

Peter commanded to Feed my sheep: Jn 21:17

Peter is the prince of the apostles, head of the universal church on earth!


Peter and the apostles receive the Holy Spirit and the power to forgive sins: Jn 20:21-23

Peter declares Judas office of apostle valid and vacant and chooses a successor: acts 1:15 & 17 & 26

Peter preaches the first sermon on Pentecost: acts 2:14

 

[theefaith]

The Eastern Orthodox Church preceded the Roman Catholic Church by several hundred years. They had patriarchates in all the major cities of the Roman empire -- Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, and Constantinople. None of them recognized Peter as the pope over them.

"However, nowhere in Scripture did Jesus, the apostles, or any other New Testament writer set forth the idea of “apostolic succession. Further, neither is Peter presented as “supreme” over the other apostles... Alignment with scriptural teaching, not apostolic succession, is the determining factor of the trueness of a church. What is mentioned in Scripture is the idea that the Word of God was to be the guide that the church was to follow (Acts 20:32). It is Scripture that was to be the infallible measuring stick for teaching and practice (2 Timothy 3:16-17). It is the Scriptures that teachings are to be compared to (Acts 17:10-12). Apostolic authority was passed on through the writings of the apostles, not through apostolic succession."

1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV
[17] For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
So much for everyone receiving the great commission.
Jesus was only speaking too the men before him.

It’s not good to play into men’s fantasies.

Then according to you there would be no Gospel preaching after the first century. Why are Christians indulging in such absurdities today?

 

[Enoch111]

This has no bearing on the discussion.

Matthew 28:19 KJV
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
How was Paul saying he wasn’t sent to baptize?

but note he is to preach the gospel.

Peter, the apostles, and their successors have Care for our souls!

Acts 20:28 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.

Jn 21:17 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they care for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

we still have souls still need successors (bishops and the priests ordained to assist them) to care for our souls!

Romans 16:26
But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

even a wife has to obey and submit to her husband because he represents Christ to Her!
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
And the church is His bride who must obey and submit to Him thru His representatives

2 Tmothy 3: 6 For among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses, 7 who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth.​

It's difficult to "share the truth" when they HAVE NO TRUTH.

[theefaith]

John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

without Peter, the apostles, and their successors there is no church, no connection to Christ and His Grace and truth!

you cannot read for yourself and make your own doctrines, you have to be taught and fed by those who have care for your souls!

the Lord Jesus
1 Peter 5:4 "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away."
Hebrews 13:20 "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"

Peter
Acts 10:25 "And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him."
Acts 10:26 "But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man."

don't put too much stock in a man.

Though we know you have the truth in you, because I’ve never heard it come out of you.

 

[Bobby Jo]

... you cannot read for yourself and make your own doctrines, you have to be taught and fed by those who have care for your souls!

Somebody's been BRAINWASHED! -- YOU are responsible for your own SOUL, for HEARING FROM GOD, and for being RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FAMILY, -- NOBODY ELSE. Now we can certainly participate in the Body of Christ, but WE ARE TO JUDGE THEM, not them judge us.

Are you in a CULT? It certainly sounds like it, -- maybe the JW's?

You are so thoroughly confused that you were right to adopt your designation as "spiritual saboteur". Do you even understand what is being said in that verse?

That is salvation, not Apostolic succession!

Is apostolic succession biblical?

No. The doctrine of apostolic succession assumes that apostleship is located in an office rather than a person. But this is not the Biblical view. According to the Bible, an apostle is a man whom Jesus Christ appointed to speak for him while he is away. The last apostle to be called by Jesus was Paul.
