[Campion]

As for a successor - a successor must succeed in spirit, not merely in title.

Compare your opinion to the Scriptures, where Jesus says that the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat, and must be obeyed.

And yet you accuse others of following philosophy over and against Scripture! You would see better the speck in my eye if you removed the plank from your own.

[Havoc]

Compare your opinion to the Scriptures, where Jesus says that the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat, and must be obeyed.

Because the legal system and the priesthood were one in the same. The law being fullfilled in Christ removed the legal aspect and left only the spiritual. Moses' seat is occupied by Christ. That isn't opinion, that is what Christ spent the latter part of his life telling those that would hear him - both himself and through the Apostles. You might try actually reading what scripture says instead of parroting your philosophers.

[Havoc]

I might add that succession again, is not a matter of title, it is a matter of message. If the message isn't the same, you can parade whatever title you wish, and you're still a fraud. Your message don't match. Deal with it.
