There is no "authority" established by Christ or the apostles other than the authorulity of Christ over the assembly of believers and the husband over the wife. Any other supposed "authority" within the assembly of believers is a perversion.
>>I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven<<
The "keys" are the scriptures. If you read the Greek it says that whatever you bind "will have already been bound in heaven". They were to simply apply the scriptures and declare what had been established in heaven. The Catholic Church has totally abandoned what the words in Greek mean. The apostles did NOT decide what would be established, they declared what was established in heaven.
>>Christ calls men to serve the Church (2 Tim. 1:67) as pastors, teachers, and spiritual fathers who heal, feed, and strengthen Gods people.≤<
Those are all servants. Not one of those was to be in a position of " authority. Reference Christ's words when the apostles asked who amongst them was greatest.
It's not like Church authorities can force things to be bound or loosed in heaven. It is the Holy Spirit who acts in all these things.
Second: servant authority is exactly what I'm talking about. This is the kind of authority Christ gives His Church.
