Consntantine legalized Catholicism==that’s all. I don’t know where you get the ideas -— want to tell me?
Christ breathed on the Apostles on Easter Day giving them the power to forgive or bind sin, thus making them the first Bishops — look it up in Scripture.
Even Paul lays his hands on Timothy and ordains him — it’s in the Bible, why don’t you believe it?
What Constantine “legalized” was the crushing of the worship of Yeshua, replacing it with the worship of Tammuz and his harlot mother under proxy names purloined from Yeshua and his mother.
Constantine used the power of Rome to persecute the followers of Yeshua, and the followers of Judaism, murdering thousands of them.
That is recorded history.
BTW, Yeshua Breathed on his Apostles at the time of his ascension, shortly before Shavuot, and had absolutely nothing to do with the vile pagan celebration called ‘Easter.’
Typical catholic ignorance of the plain facts recorded in scripture.
Bishops are just pastors, IOW teachers, Apostle was a decidedly separate office that no longer exists. There were only 12 Apostles (not counting Judas who never was given that office)
“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ “
I wonder why you people with this?
