How so

He did not go through the laying of hands

He does not hold succession

Explain the laying of hands

As I said earlier, I'm still learning

As in the bible ```In the Catholic Church, the laying on of hands is performed in the sacrament of Holy Orders and is the means by which one is included in one of the three major orders: bishop, priest, or deacon. ... The sacraments of ordination and confirmation are, however, reserved exclusively to a bishop```

They did this in the bible btw

Where is this in the Bible

It's in there with Matthias, I believe Timothy, and maybe James if I remember correctly

Can I get a specific example?

1 Timothy 4:14

1 Timothy 4:14

This was after going over the responsibilities of the Church authorities btw

Just says elders

Just read through 1 Timothy 3

As in Thessalonians the commanders of the church

Were elders

Do you believe that if you are not a member of Catholic church you cannot enter heaven?

My church has bishops and laying on of h of hands. So?

Every new bishop and deacon here is layed hands on by the eldest members of the church

Because Jesus gave the keys to the church

Peter

You are not a member of the church if you are outside the church

Wrong

The church is not an earthly entity

Or a singular church

Are you seriously alleging that everyone was wrong about this until Martin Luther?

It is any church in Communion with Christ

History is irrelevant

Martin Luther didn't even reject truth comes from the church until he went insane

Time does not make a wrong right

The church isn't based on the bible

The bible is based on the church

No

kind of true though

If you deny the infallibility of the church, you deny the infallibility of the bible

Wrong

I'll continue responding later

I deny the infallibility of the Catholics
