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.
Ok, I back up off of the floor now.
Thanks for the laugh.
He didn’t need them for that!
You really believe He conferred that power only for their lifetime? Quite the waste I’d say. But then anti-Catholics have to have some warpped process to explain away the truth.
So just what did they bind and loose during their lifetimes that was so important?
