“Peter was given no such authority; he was given a command that what was bound on Earth would be that which was already bound in heaven.”
Nonsense. He was given the authority (along with the other apostles to forgive sin. You need to go reread matthew again. It’s all right there in Scripture!
“You pulled a switcheroo here! The evidence you requested (by placement) was the statement by Christ that he hated the nicolaitans, to which I directed you.”
And I’m contesting your argument as it is found nowhere in scripture.
“The facts concerning Paul replacing the “apostle” falsely appointed by men is in the Acts.”
Where?
“Are you so unschooled in the scriptures that you are not familiar with the calling of Paul on the Damascus reoad?”
Absolutely I am familiar with that Account, as well as with Paul’s own statement that HE WAS NOT ONE of the 12!
Good job!

This is just another of the things that make your kind look crazy.
Only the man that paid the price for sins can forgive them.

Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
Is your Bible a bit tattered? Lost pages?

Not one of the original 12, that is true. But he is one of the appointed 12 that advanced the way of Yeshua throughout the world, and the greatest of them also. Playing word games with God’s word is not something to be proud of.
