They have only the authority Christ conferred upon them, but they are not omnipotent.
You apply sin as the scribes and Pharisees did. Yet God schooled them on sin. Sin as defined by God himself was not having trust in Christ. When he said he would reprove the world on sin. The apostle wrote that we were all under sin when they said God looked upon man and seen none were righteous no not one. With God’s reprove we come to no the sin.
Give me some time and I will. But let’s be true their are sins of the flesh and sin that condemn. I was referring to the sin that condemns.explain these verses in light of “faith alone”

He got no commandLOL Not sure what your criteria is for starting a church OTHER THAN acting as God commands - even if not a part of the traditional church.
Besides Timothy and Titus, who were the successors? Are not the successors to continue in the doctrine that was once delivered to the saints? Jude 3Jesus Christ continues HIS ministry in His new covenant church thru Peter, the apostles, and their successors with the same mission, power, and authority!
Almost got it right. The church is not founded on Peter. The church is founded on Peter's Confession, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the World, the long awaited Messiah, God's Anointed.
Besides Timothy and Titus, who were the successors? Are not the successors to continue in the doctrine that was once delivered to the saints? Jude 3

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; Ephesians 2:20 (KJV)
I'm just not impressed by those who claim the authority of Christ but act like devils.
What good is it to have so called 'Apostolic Succession' when the successors do not contend for, or even abide in, the doctrine (faith) that was once delivered to the saints (us)?Mattias acts 1
All the valid bishops for over 2000 yrs and through out the world in union with peter and His successors all united to Christ and his authority

Jude 3 (KJV) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
