Who then decided, by the Holy Spirit, which books would become the inspired record, particularly who decided which writings would become the New Testament? When did this occur?

If Apostolic Succession did not occur, how then was the faith passed on to future generations of Christians? If you say by means of Holy Scripture only, then how was it passed before the canon of Holy Scripture was set (see above)? How was it spread throughout the entire earth before the death of the Apostles (as recorded in Scripture) and before the New Testament was completed? How was it passed on through the millenium or so thereafter that passed before the invention of the printing press, and during a time when few people could read?

If Apostolic Succession was not to happen, what was the use of Our Lord Jesus Christ imparting to St. Peter the power to bind and to loose, and imparting to the Apostles the power to forgive sins?

If Apostolic Succession did not happen, what was the purpose of the "laying on of the hands"?

Where was the Christian Church for the time between the death of the 12 original apostles and the beginning of whatever you believe to be the Christian Church now? In what group did the Holy Spirit abide for all that time, since Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be the Helper of Christians?

Apostolic Succession ?

by a Christian in

you wrote: the belief of apostolic succession is not a distinctly roman one.

the orthodox as well as the anglicans hold to it.

To see the video, go to the link Nathan listed:

Andre:

There will be a podcast of the program going up in the next couple of days (it was rebroadcast this morning at 10 am Eastern).

To find the podcast, go here:

http://www.ewtn.com/podcast/index.asp

They change each week. The one currently up is last week's program, so yesterday's program should be up by tomorrow or Thursday.

Also, the audio of the show will be available in the audio archives soon. Audio archives remain online for a long time.

The program was very encouraging, and there were a number of viewer questions that were answered as well.

Nathan:

It takes a few days for a show to appear in the archives.

You can go here:

http://origin.ewtn.com/podcast/index.asp

and use the Journey Home link also.

The program there now is the one from last week. Tom's show will go up in the next day or two and will be available that way for about a week.

There was a rebroadcast of the show this morning at 10 am.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome ;-) I'm glad it worked for you.

I believe the very NICEST thing about being out of the Watchtower is that I don't have to judge people or their beliefs anymore. I can just love them, whether we agree or not.
