Here is Eusebius in 312AD quoting the Bible talking about Peter's successors to the episcopate, i.e. Linus.
Paul testifies that Crescens was sent to Gaul [2 Tm 4:10], but Linus, whom he mentions in the Second Letter to Timothy [2 Tm 4:21] as his companion at Rome, was Peter’s successor in the episcopate of the church there, as has already been shown. Clement also, who was appointed third bishop of the church at Rome, was, as Paul testifies, his co-laborer and fellow soldier [Phil 4:3] [ibid., 3:4:9–10]. - Eusebius of Caesarea, Church History, 312AD
Is Eusebius in 312AD quoting the Bible more or less credible than AcesSilver in 2024AD quoting the Bible.
AGAIN, THE TEXT IS WHAT MATTERS NOT WHAT A MAN (i.e. ACESSILVER) SAID. LOOK AT THE PRESERVED WORD OF GOD!
was Peter’s successor in the episcopate of the church there
Being an Overseer/Bishop/Elder/Shepherd or Deacon is an office of the church (There is no office for Cardinal, Priest, or Pope.)
I Timothy 3:1-13
Titus 1:5-16
Acts 20:28
I'm take no issue with any of the scriptures. But men will twist them to meet their needs.
Peter says this in 2 Peter 3:16
But men (i.e. AcesSilver) will twist them to meet their needs.
Stephen [I] . . . boasts of the place of his episcopate, and contends that he holds the succession from Peter, on whom the foundations of the Church were laid [Mt 16:18]. . . . [Pope] Stephen . . . announces that he holds by succession the throne of Peter [Firmilian of Caesarea quoted in St. Cyprian’s Letters 74:17 (c. A.D. 255)].
Who is twisting scripture? AcesSilver (2024AD) or Firmilian of Caesarea? (255AD)

If anyone considers and examines these things, there is no need for a long discussion and arguments. There is easy proof of faith in a short summary of the truth. The Lord says to Peter: “I say to you,” he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven . . .” [Mt 16:18–19]. - Cyprian of Carthage, 251AD
Again, the text is what matters not what a man said. Look at the preserved word of God. And seriously consider this thought. On Judgement day we will all be judged individually. You must read and understand for yourself.

But you didn't quote scripture. You quoted Cyprian.
