Apostolic Succession, hmm, I'm still unsure on it's validity

There are verses that they use to validate it, but it's really up to how to interpret those verses

It is

But the line of succession, like all dynasties, has often experienced interregnums

Also @Earl of Morrrrgantown for future qotds can you not focus on election stuff as hard

More so on topics

I believe that the only Protestant church where the Apostolic Succession is much of an issue is the Church of England. Although they claim to have maintained the Apostolic Succession intact through the days of Henry VIII (or VII, I don't really remember), the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches do not agree with them, and therefore do not consider their sacraments valid. The Orthodox Churches and the Roman Church, although separated on several issues, recognize the validity of each other's sacraments, since the chain Apostolic Succession was never broken, despite the schisms, and all the differences between them.

Personally, I am still undecided on that topic.

*However*, some people say that the Apostolic succession in general is viewed differently from the Catholics by the Orthodox. It is important to be ordained by someone who himself has apostolic succession, but this ordination must take place inside the Church. The Orthodox see the Catholics as having left the Church, and so while they may have maintained valid forms, the Orthodox cannot say if they have grace or not. The same applies to the various small vagante groups that have split from the Orthodox: they may have maintained technically correct apostolic succession, but having cut themselves off from the Church are treated as any other heterodox body.

@Doctor Anon alright

Well put👌

Apostolic succession is real and biblical through verses of laying on hands and transferring power from the presbyteri

Yes. I concur.

I can agree there

Some good input you two

Apostolic succession is legitimate

it just isn't in the catholic church anymore

Papists tarnished any faith they had

Apostolic succession does not get tarnished

It is one of the few things within the church which cannot be tarnished.

Or at least is set up so it is extremely hard to do so.

<@&516817984782729217> Daily Question <:PraiseGod:484196233020440586>

Is genetic modification (on humans) okay? Are we going against God's teachings?

Genetic modification is the work of satan

It's not okay

It's morally wrong.

Now for a reason.... 🤔

We as humans should not try to play God

Modification = crucifixion

The atheist scientists want to destroy all morality in our world. Genetic modification on humans is wrong.

<:this:487682424562647060>

Do you guys think there could ever be an alliance between Christians of all (or most) denominations?

Yes

Genetic modification? FUCK no

Protestantism needs to disappear though

It's by its very definition dividing

I'm a protestant smh

So am I

But im considering Orthodoxy or Catholicism

As a Catholic, it confuses me when Protestants have faiths very similar to Catholicism (for example Lutheranism)
