Apostolic succession is a heresy.

Why is this a heresy?

Blood lineage was the name of the game for the whole Bible up to and including Matt chapter 1 and Luke chapter 3. Mary had hers and Joseph had his.

Adam had his, Aaron had his for the priests, and David had his for the kings.

The apostles used Jesus' own genealogy to prove He was somebody special.

Close to half of the Christian world believes in Apostolic succession in the form of the Vatican Popes.

WN called the Brethren the fulfillment of Philadelphia in Rev 2, and they have their succession from Darby down to Hale.

The Recovery has their MOTA lineage from Luther to Lee, succeeded by today's Brother Blended.

How can you say "Apostolic succession is a heresy?"
