Do you comprehend what you write?

“Why would you believe in the passing of the power to bind and loose....?”

ONE of the things they “bound on earth” WAS the passing of the power!!!!!!!

No need to shout, just tell me why you believe this. I guess you could mention Matthias, but that passing includes a strict requirement of being with Jesus from the beginning.

Why would Christ waste his time conferring this power, only to have it pass away with the Apostles that were present?

Pseudo logic and rationalization for earthly power, but I'll bite. Christ personally gave the power to the Apostles so that they could lay the foundation. Once the Apostles were done, they foundation was finished and everything else is just building on that foundation.

The foundation is finished and done. There is nothing left that needs to be bound or loosed.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
