1 | who was judus repacement as an apostal | Acts 1:20 | DocTrinsograce | 163594 | ||
Dear Emmaus, Not every quote of everyone in the narratives of Scripture is inerrant truth. Some of the quotes of folks in Scripture are downright untrue! After all, we have the wicked and even Satan quoted! :-) More specifically, it would not be the first nor the last time that Peter was in error... if, after all, he was, indeed, in error. Consequently, that argument wouldn't help us in our efforts to arrive at a soundly Biblical explanation. (By the way, where is it that we find Barnabas numbered as one of the apostles? I just scanned through every reference to him and I do not see that he was granted that office, although he was called to the ministry of evangelism. Did I miss it somewhere?) On the other hand, in Galatians 1:19 Paul makes reference to James -- calling him the brother of Jesus in order to distinguish him from the son of Zebedee -- as an apostle. Counting Matthias and Paul that would put us up to fourteen; which effectively eliminates my argument while strengthening your own. How, then, do you suggest we deal with the verse in the 21st chapter of Revelation? -- barring, of course, any extra-Scriptural appeals... or, for that matter, the explanation that involves our circumnavigation with the hypothetical bookie. :-) In Him, Doc |

Doc, Here I was giving you the benfit of the doubt that you knew an apostle was one who was "sent" as Paul and Barnabus were together. By your logic if Peter was in error about scripture being fulfilled in this instance he was probably in error in his subsequent references to the fulfillment of scripture in the rest of Acts. I will stick to Acts and let you puzzle out Revelation along with the sometimes puzzling and changing names of the twelves tribes found in various places in the Old Testament. What is you bet on those names. I hear someone humming Danny Boy in the background. Emmaus |
