Post 412 reads as a tacit admission there is no apostolic succession in the German 16th Century attempt to re-form, re-create, or re-construct Christianity without apostolic authority.

Of course it's an admission there is no apostolic authority in the church because there is no such thing as apostolic authority...It's another construct invented by the Catholic religion to keep its members in bondage to the Catholic religion...

There is only one authority for Christians and that is the inspired, written words of God...God's Christians believe and follow God's words...And to succeed in following those words we are led by the Holy Spirit...

For as many as are led by the phony apostolic authority of the Catholic religion, they are the sons of God??? Of course not...
Rom_8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Numerous homosexual, pedophile Catholic cardinals (known as the queer mafia at the vatican) get together and elect one of their own, likely another queer cardinal (birds of a feather flock together) and he is called the pope of the one, true Church and is the latest in line of your fake Apostolic authority who is allegedly traced all the way back to the apostle Peter (who was NOT the apostle of the New Testament church)...

And you have the audacity to stick up for those Catholic pedo perverts of humanity and criticize the Mormon Church or anyone other organization that has just as much legitimacy as your own fake religion...They are doing the same thing your religion is doing but they are bad, yours is good...At least they have the good sense to keep the queers out of their leadership roles...

Since then there have been a myriad of attempts to lather, rinse, and repeat that example; a couple of the more recent being the La Luz Del Mundo and Iglesia ni Cristo religious organizations.

The Latter Day Saints, with many very nice families, are the older American version that tried to re-create/re-construct Christianity. Its founder(s) (who sprang from Protestantism), rejected the creeds, falling so deep into heresy that it cannot be considered Christianity.
