WOW!!! Is it the Holy Spirit or man that teaches us all truths. Even Paul had to oppose Peter who was in error, Galatians 2:11-21.
In a matter like f discipline any apostles may correct another apostle

What are you afraid of, it is Christ’s church, he is the king and head, with the guarantee of the Holy Spirit!

Jn 15:5 eph 5:24

Christ appointed the apostles to govern the church and administer the kingdom

Christ is an apostle, and has authority to send other apostles, the apostles also have this authority, so the apostles continue down thru the centuries as Christ promised! Matt 28:19-20

Keys of jurisdictional authority! Open and shut And power to bind and loose! Matt 16:18 and Matt 18:18 matt 28:19 Isa 22:21-22

Moral authority:
(Teaching)
Necessity of being taught by Christ:
Two edge sword: defining truth and condemning errors, and Interpreting scripture.

Jurisdictional authority:
(Governing / administering)
Necessity of Peter and the apostles and their successors to govern the holy church.

Spiritual authority:
(Life of Grace)
Sanctifying thru the mass and Sacraments for the forgiveness of sin.


The apostles teaching is Christ’s teaching, Christ and His church are one! Acts 9:4 eph 5:32 Jn 15:5 eph 5:24

Christian rule of faith is not the Bible alone! But the doctrine of the apostles! Acts 2:42
 
And just who are these so called successors?

Acts 1:12-26 is all about Matthias being chosen to replace Judas, just as all who have been called of God to take the Gospel message to the world.

From that time forth God has called many to take the Gospel message out into the world as they have been called and anointed by the Holy Spirit to do this. No man apart from the Holy Spirit can be a successor of those who have died before them. The Apostles were the first as they had to be Spiritually born again from above and anointed by the Holy Spirit before they were sent out into the world as before when they were gathered in the upper room they had no Spiritual knowledge of what Jesus taught them before His death and resurrection, Luke 24:36-49.

It has nothing to do with Catholics or Protestants, but those who have been sent out into the world as God is not about a man's religion, nor does He recognize any organized religion. When the Apostles began their ministry they established many Churches being the body of Christ with He being the head of the body. God never established denominations or non-denominations as these are all man made religions.
Christ founded the church so enough about man’s religion

The authority that the successors of Moses had in Matt 23:1 was commanded to be obeyed, it was taken from them and given to Peter and the apostles and their successors and they must also be obeyed Matt 21;43 Matt 16:18-19
Jn 20:21-23 heb 13:7-17

Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

What part of that verse do you not understand. It proves that Mary did not remain a virgin as these are half brothers and sisters to Jesus having the same mother, but a different father.
What tribe was Joses?

Are Abraham and lot brothers?
Or uncle & nephew?

In Hebrew culture any close relative can be called brother or sister, lot was called Abraham’s brother but was his nephew.

Gen 12:5 and Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son..

Gen 13:8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are Brothers.

James is the son of zebedee, and the other James is the son of Alpheus not Joseph!
Matt 10:2-3
