The Apostles transferred their authority to new men through the sacrament of Ordination. This power was first given to Matthias. All bishops of the Catholic Church can trace their authority back to one of the original Apostles through a process called Apostolic Succession.I read it through the first time when I was eleven in school.
Every year since I have read it in its entirety.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say Jesus told the apostles to write a Bible.
Blackrook, the apostles were dead for almost 275 years in 325 AD, every last one of them.
There were no apostles to bind or loose.
The books of the Bible were chosen by Catholic bishops with this authority.
