THE APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES was conceived to help all those searching for the true Church founded by Christ on His 12 apostles. This is the most important doctrine coming to us down through centuries in helping to find the Church with the PRIESTLY POWERS OF CHRIST IN OUR SALVATION. Christ Jesus founded a priestly church. Christ instituted 7 sacraments, or 7 signs for the forgiveness of sins. Thus the means of salvation are to be found in the Church gifted with THE PRIESTLY POWERS OF CHRIST which Jesus himself shared with his apostles on the night of the LAST SUPPER.
