I don't see any apostles today walking around

We see their successors, whom they appointed.

No ....you see the pope and his hierarchy as that, I do not ...in fact I see the pope as a man crowned and configured far from what any apostle was or ever desired....they were all about Christ and in fact when the people did want to elevate their position they profoundly and firmly were against this in every way. The Pope is not over the believers...Christ is...period. Now you can and do adhere to his authority over YOUR denomination....I do not nor will I ever. But I will not argue he has his following just as all the religions who claim their own prophet or leader, guru. The catholic membership gives Him authority Christ never gave a man...the pope is not Christ or his representation here...Gods Holy Spirit is...enough said.

I am so grateful for the Reformation after coming to FR and reading these religious threads. Further research to seek the truth of and origins of what the catholic church is today was a profound eyeopener of where so much of their practices and beliefs are rooted...mindboggling to say the least.

As I have stated before...you and I are far apart in our beliefs so you should not be surprised I will not agree.

“We see their successors, whom they appointed.”

You cannot appoint eyewitnesses to Christ.

"We see their successors, whom they appointed."

Who is alive today that the apostles appointed?
