John 20:21-23.....Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has SENT me, so I SEND you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
[apostalic succession].... Romans 10:15.....And how can people preach UNLESS THEY ARE SENT? how do Non-Catholic preachers preach if they are not in the line of succession going all the way back to the Apostles???
Why would Jesus go through the trouble of giving the apostles this authority if He preferred the practice of personal confession direct to Himself?
It was a Jewish tradition that if someone got up from the table from a meal that if his napkin was just thrown down that he was finnished and would not return, but if his napkin was folded then that meant he was coming back. Jesus is coming back but not riding on a donkey this time. He is coming back like he said with power and on a cloud.
