Apostolic succession from that time until today.

Apostolic succession is neither Biblical nor supported by Scripture. It is a myth started by the cult which became the RCC.

Apostolic succession is neither Biblical nor supported by Scripture. It is a myth started by the cult which became the RCC. The Greek Orthodox Church believes in Apostolic succession. Supposedly their Bishops can trace their Apostolic lineage back to the Apostles. Where in the Roman Catholic Church the lineage has been lost to history and only assumed since only a Bishop may ordinate another Bishop. Sort of like an inductive proof in Mathematics.

Caveat: I was told this by a Greek Orthodox friend on why the Greek Orthodox Church is the one true church. I'll leave it to others to shoot down or support.
