"That's a good point, wmfights. If, however, by supernatural powers, we are talking about the gifts which Christ gave the Apostles, then we do have precedents in Scripture for those gifts being transmitted from the Apostles to others."

The supernatural powers to which I'm referring are the ability to forgive sin, or deny the forgiveness of sin. If the Apostles had this power I don't subscribe to the thought that it was passed on to future priests.

I enjoyed reading your post, but you continue to state as fact issues that I do not believe are SCRIPTURALLY supported. I don't see any sense in arguing what are sacraments and what aren't, your church has decided on its list and my church has stuck with the original two; communion and baptism.

You never responded to my 1432, which gives Scriptural support for the other sacraments. You can hardly say they are not "Scripturally supported" without at least confronting the evidence I show to the contrary.
