Well, that’s what Apostolic Succession is.
Now, my question to you - if you don’t believe in this - why are you a member of your church?
It’s one thing to assert that the Catholic church is wrong about this - but if the Catholic church is wrong then so are all the protestant churches. None of them have this either.
Which begs the question, doesn’t it?
There is not such thing as apostolic succession. That is another myth perpetrated by the RCC cult. Jesus appointed the apostles and they were the witnesses who were promised that they would remember what was said and what happened. No other people in history or today were given that promise or commission.
