((Where did Jesus make bishops?**

Paul ordained Bishops. Have you read 1 and 2 Timothy lately.

Christ ordained the apostles by breathing on them and giving them the power to forgive and bind sins.

And, by the by, there only two places in Scripture where the particular form of the word "breathed" that is used when Christ breathed on the Apostles is uses. In that passage and when God breathed life into Adam.

Nothing unique or enduring about that sort of breath, right? I mean, nothing passed down to us from Adam so the Apostles likewise had nothing they could and did pass down through those they anointed to take their place.

Could we have the verse where it says Timothy ORDAINED Bishops?

The greek word can be read either as Bishop or overseer ...But there is no scripture indicating they were ORDAINED ... just as there is no priesthood in the NT church..

Christ ordained the apostles by breathing on them and giving them the power to forgive and bind sins.

The ecclestical gift to the church to excommunicate ....But lets say that Rome is right..where di Jesus ever say it was a "gift" they could pass on ?? Chapter and verse please ..
