Subject: What is the biblical def of apostle |
Bible Note: Doc I know you did say this was your opinion but I thought in all fairness I needed to lists objections to your statements. Point 1 is speaking from silence we know the disciples are told to go and wait but we don't know what else was told them. Point 2 could be argued that Peter was being lead of the Spirit to do this. Psalms 37:23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. This also could be as a result of Peter in fact being placed in charge. Matthew 16:18 But I won’t go there today. Point 3 Lots were considered the acceptable way to get God's leading before the Holy spirit was sent. Many believe the Urim an Tummim were in fact dies for this just this purpose. Point 4 also speaks from silence not proof. Most of the other apostles aren't heard from either looking from this point on. Foxe's Book of Martyrs lists Mathias as being stoned and beheaded for our Lord. Point 6 is equally inclusive since we haven't see the foundation to know who's name is there. EdB |
