The role of apostolic succession in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. To make sure that the apostles’ teachings would be passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy, “[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2). In this passage he refers to the first three generations of apostolic succession—his own generation, Timothy’s generation, and the generation Timothy will teach.

Sorry, but once again the scriptures blow your Catholic doctrine right out of the water...

It is sad that your religion has to pervert the scriptures to justify its false doctrines...

2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Of me, NOT from me...

Paul was telling Timothy to choose men like Paul to lead the ministry...Full of zeal for God...Integrity...Humble...And all the other things Paul was...Has nothing to do with what Paul taught...

But yet you'll use this perversion of scripture to con Catholics into believing apostolic succession is viable...
