(1) why did Jesus give His Apostles the authority to bind and loose and forgive and retain sins, and to speak in His name such that whoever listens to them listens to Him, and whoever rejects them rejects Him? (Luke 10:6; 1 John 4:6) UHHHHH,
JESUS GAVE ALL BELIEVERS such authority. He made that clear. Paul made that clear.
I have lived it out and found it true around the world.

Since you have the same authority as the Apostles, and since we don't need to obey you, therefore, apparently, we don't need to obey the Apostles. And therefore, apparently, we don't need to obey the writings of the Apostles (i.e. the NT). That is going to come as a big surprise to most Christinans.

JESUS GAVE ALL BELIEVERS such authority. He made that clear. Paul made that clear. Since "Jesus gave all believers such authority", and since I am a believer, therefore I too have such authority. Why then don't you obey me, and treat my words as the words of the NT?
