1- "Oral statement" = Only available to 1st century believers, who could hear from the Apostles in person
2- "A letter of ours" = AKA, scripture, written by the Apostles for their contemporaries and posterity
Neither provides proof of apostolic succession, or that anybody other than the original Apostles had the authority to do either.
So given the unavailability of option 1, we are left with option 2---we go by scripture alone.
Anarchists are like gun banners, they think wishing something into non-existence is a better idea than using a tool to defend yourself from those who misuse it.
Minarchists are like children, they think saying something or writing it down about human nature will make it so. #parchmentdoesntscaretyrants
It was a minarchist who said that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, the words on paper are just a tool to help.
