3) FALSE - Jesus, the King, delegating His authority to so-called “church rulers,” has no basis in scripture whatsoever. He alone has all authority. Someone has argued that “if Jesus has all authority, then surely, He must have the authority to delegate some of His authority to others.”
No one can disagree with this, but that’s not the question. The question is not whether Jesus could delegate authority to others? The question is, did He? And the answer is a resounding NO!
Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 1 Peter 3:22
