No, not just “agreable”. The apostles did NOT decide with agreement from the Holy Spirit. That could ONLY declare what “ had already been” bound or loosed in heaven. The Greek is “will have been”.
>>Second: servant authority is exactly what I’m talking about. This is the kind of authority Christ gives His Church.<<
No, the Catholic Church inserts the word “ authority” which is not there in scripture nor is it inferred or implied.
ROTFLMAO! Too funny.
So find the “authority” in the Greek text. That should be easy for you if you find it “too funny”. Surely you have already studied the Geek to be able to say that right?
