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 ..
Matthew 28:18-20.
