>>that the Church founded by Jesus Christ should have bishops, and that God has given those bishops the responsibility of taking care of the true Church founded by Jesus Christ.<<

Your premise is built on error. Jesus did not set up a hierarchy. The Catholic Church has totally corrupted the meaning of what an "elder" in the assmebly is. Besides, the leadership in the Catholic Church isn't even qualified to be in leadership per Paul. So no, I didn't admit anything.

So in post #32 you quoted a Bible text specifically talking about "bishops", which you are now saying here does not mean what you actually posted yourself?

Your responses are built on error (and I think on much worse).

(And, by the way, you do understand that, in civil law (for example), when it says you can only have one spouse, it is not saying that you must have a spouse, and that when civil law says you must not deliberately harm your own children, it does not mean that you must have children, don't you?)
