@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista As do I. Forgive me if I offended you at all or was too harsh. It wot my intention, I do it only for my love of Christ and my genuine belief in His Church. I apologize. May God bless you!
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista He is telling Timothy to point these things out to the faithful to keep them from these erroneous groups.
And later he says, "command and teach these things"
Is commanding representative of an authority or still no?


English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista If the chapter is about groups outside the church, then it doesn't support authority of the church.
Infallibility of the Pope is held as doctrine, yes? So that's an error.
The Church is valuable and a blessed part of God's design. We are asked to test. This may fix errors.
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista You are 2000 years separated from the Incarnation. You knew what I meant.
Well, these scriptures do refer to apostolic succession and transmitting an oral deposit that written scripture lacks. It isn't concerning that no one understood how you did until like the past century?
English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista No separation, friend! Christ is here with us as we debate!
I am simply looking for succession of authority in scripture.
I don't see it. Some of what you posted contradicts that idea.
Peace, brother! Love you
English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista Leading churches ok.
One leader proclaiming truth for all believers, infallible, succeeded by another such chief for all time? Don't see it.
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista We certainly would ahree that various groups depart from truth and teach things taught by demons. Arianism, Nestorianism, Papism, Islam, Protestantism, Mormonism, etc. to name a few.
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista The forbidding to marry is talking about other groups outside the Church such as many gnostic groups, who did exactly that. Nor do Orthodox Christians believe any individual bishop is infallible, so again this is just not really responding to our position

English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista You're a fallible singular person 2000 years separated from Christ. Why are you so certain your interpretation is correct?
English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista i am non-denom
i don't need to refute. I simply do not see succession of authority in those. I await scriptural proof.
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista Oh Titus 1:9 too.
And look man, I understand you're gonna interpret it differently, but it is in scripture was really my only point. Not trying to convince you, the Holy Spirit must do so. Believe as you wish.
English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista 2 Tim 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.
Lineages of teaching, but not succession of authority.
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista Do you think the Elders just don't lead their churches my guy?
English

@CaesariteJoseph @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista Titus 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Appointing elders, no succession of authority
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista “And what you have heard from me among many witnesses commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2
St. Paul is telling Timothy to pass on what he heard (oral!) from him while in Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3) where he taught three years (Acts 20:31l
English

@NMarbletoe @kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista orthodoxwiki.org/Apostolic_succ…
This has verses although it's not completely thorough. Acts 1 is the obvious case.
2 Timothy 2:2 is my favorite. Titus 1:5 too. These are both letters to Bishops so it makes sense. 1 Timothy 4:14 shows that this gift in Timothy was a sacramental thing.
English

@kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista The authority of binding and loosing, remitting and retaining, celebrating the sacraments, guarding the true faith etc. certainly remains in their successors. They don't receive direct revelation from Christ, write scripture, nor define the deposit of faith.
English

@CaesariteJoseph @beckevangelista Exactly, the authority was lost. Thanks for agreeing.
English

@kirkmckee13 @beckevangelista And so now you're going beyond what the text says to make an explanation that it does not lean too. Their is nowhere in scripture that says this concilliar pattern is only for the 12 apostles. If they have a unique charism for it, it is irrational that the Elders would be there.
English

@CaesariteJoseph @beckevangelista Do you not think the apostles can take counsel from the elders? If a king invites his advisors to advise him, do they then have his authority?
English

@m966021 @AngloVarangian Jeez why didn't I think of that. Very intelligently put.
English

Because it belonged to Constantinople prior to 1204

The image on the Shroud of Turin is nearly identical to Byzantine icons of Christ from hundreds of years ago

@cezargr1 @thaddeusthought Does anywhere in the Bible show anyone praying directly to the Holy Spirit? Not everything is explicit in the Bible. The letters are meant to address problems. If there’s no problem, then no one is going to write about it.
English

@m966021 @AngloVarangian That has not been proven. The carbon dating could have been on a medieval restoration. And of course we still can't recreate it... So at very least it's inconclusive.
English

@AngloVarangian Literally impossible since the Shroud of Turin is a medieval invention.
