I dont know what it means to me except it is Important...I do know that it is very real...Jesus taught, explained, shared all He did with His Apostles and they inturn 2 by 2 did the same...Ima purty sure the Roman Catholics keep excellant records as they have the most Extensive Archive in the world...as for the numerous Denominations...well...everyone that is Called by GOD into the Apostalic comission...they all have a "Teacher" so to speak...one that has done what Jesus did...Pass it on...Does that make sense ???...:dunce:...xo

The question should we justify any statement not given to us clearly in the word of God?

There is no such thing as Apostolic succession.



The Apostles were an EXTREMELY LIMITED group of men chosen directly by Jesus.



If you were NOT chosen to be an Apostle DIRECTLY by Jesus, then you are NOT an Apostle.















In Christ,





James

Hummm...interesting James...No such thing as Apostolic Succession :rolleyes:...So then if a person is Called by God into a Ministry of Any kind focusing on the Teachings of our Lord Crist Jesus...is he/she "only" a Bond Servent that Preaches the Kingdom of God & Heaven and a Child of the Most High ???..xo

Jude, You can call yourself a Christian, and if you wish from some strange reason to give yourself a title, then I guess that is fine.



HOWEVER, an Apostle is a very small group of men that Jesus chose directly.



In Christ,



James

James,



You cannot Deny that EVERY Catholic Priest Today can TRACE their Lineage back to The Apostles and CHRIST!



Since you take your "...cue..." from The Reformers...that is as far as you can go (if that can be considered "Lineage").

James shared ~ Jude, You can call yourself a Christian, and if you wish from some strange reason to give yourself a title, then I guess that is fine.



*** What does your comment here have to do with what I asked ???...I asked some questions for clarification and for some unknown reason you come out to attack the title being a Christian ???...I don�t understand why a man with such knowledge as you would not know that verbal attacks in the form of stupidity towards a women of God that follows Christ Jesus teachings & doctrine bares no good fruit nor does it edify, exhort or exalt Any glory to the Father in Heaven...non the less�I still love you and respect you�xo

Hummm...:rolleyes:...Good point PJ...this is No Doubt a spirit of Penemuel ~ "The Watcher" aka "fallen angel" who is known to have taught men writing. Strangely, for an evil angel he is a curer of stupidity. This seems at variance with Church doctrine, which holds that demons are stupid. In fact the evidence shows that the nether regions are on the whole far better read, can quote scriptures and obscure ramifications of the Law far more accurately than their brethren "upstairs". The official reason given for this is that a demon needs to be Intelligent and Cunning in order to be able to Tempt the Wisest of men..(OUCH !)...Hava Blessed day in the Lord Jesus PJ...xo

Jude,



I've never seen anything that said or Implied that demons were "stupid". On the contary...they know Scripture Forwards and Backwards and they Know how to use our





"Higher Facuties" to Our Demise.
