Are we trying to change the subject? If we are correct and there is no apostolic succession, no infallibile pope ..then the question on the OT scriptures is answered ..so lets stick to one topic
good catch! I did not even realize how easily the subject was changed...:)
We were also talking about the proper historical context to interpret scripture. Anyway, I totally demolished your challenges to demonstrate apostolic succession and Church infallibility using Scripture. You talk a good game about obeying God's word, but when I provide biblical precedents for replacing a deceased apostle and an infallible Church council, you scoff.
The only rebuttals you guys could make was to quibble about side issues like the use of lots, Matthias' notoriety, and subjective opinions about which male was the most alpha at the council. Is the mechanics of Judas' replacement more important than the fact that it took place? Do you deny that Jerusalem council was inspired by the Holy Spirit? You purport to be a bible believer but now I call your bluff.
