How many times must we tell you that Christ founded his church on those apostles, the first bishops!
It’s in your Bible — he breathed on them and the Holy Spirit entered them.
So are you saying that you don’t believe Jesus and the Apostles?
You're admitting that you church is not built on Jesus? Something we already knew anyway.
It’s in your Bible — he breathed on them and the Holy Spirit entered them.
And how many times must we tell you that it's in Scripture that the foundation is Jesus. Even Peter says that.
1 Peter 2:4-8 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”
and
“A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
1 Corinthians 3:9-11 For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building.
According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
