"As for the "Bible alone" crowd, I'd like to know where in the Bible Jesus is recorded as commanding his Apostles to write a New Testament."

Very good point. God the Father wrote in stone. Jesus wrote in sand. Jesus believed in teaching through others, not writings.

He selected apostles with Peter as the head to bind and to loose. The Catholic Church is the successor to the apostles with the Pope as Peter.

The Bible contains all that is necessary for salvation. Nothing more, nothing less.

That's rather interesting! How come Peter was the only "pope" allowed to marry? How come Paul was able to rebuke Peter who fell into false teaching? If Peter was the head honcho, then why did Paul write most of the N.T. letters? Peter was no pope, he was an equal among the other apostle's of Christ.
