“Yes, it does say that, but there is no recorded fruit from the “appointed” replacement, and he was quickly replaced by Paul as the 12th apostle.”
And the evidence for this in scripture?
“IN his “Letters to the seven churches” in Revelation.”
Then you should have no difficulty citing the passage.
“All of the apostles were appointed by Christ, in person.”
And you skipped over the part where Peter is given the authority to bind and loose?
“When they were gone, the Holy Spirit provided all of the guidance to the church through his pastors, and still does to this day.”
And scripture confirms this to be true?
“You cannot look up Christ’s church in any phone book; you have to seek it through prayer.’
So how do you explain Pentecost?
And then there is Saint Timothy.
>> “And you skipped over the part where Peter is given the authority to bind and loose?” <<
.
Peter was given no such authority; he was given a command that what was bound on Earth would be that which was already bound in heaven.
.
>> “And the evidence for this in scripture?” <<
.
You pulled a switcheroo here! The evidence you requested (by placement) was the statement by Christ that he hated the nicolaitans, to which I directed you.
The facts concerning Paul replacing the “apostle” falsely appointed by men is in the Acts. Are you so unschooled in the scriptures that you are not familiar with the calling of Paul on the Damascus reoad?
