I didn’t say that Peter had HIGHRR authority. I said Christ passed on HIS authority to Peter and the apostles when he ascended into heaven.
He picked his successors, in other words.
Christ passed on His authority? Really? I think not.
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you. John 14:16,17
Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
It wasnt Peter Christ promised us.
Jesus the Living Christ left for us the Councilor.
IE Holy Spirit
To say that Christ gave His authority to a man, is just plain .... wrong.
