Subject: What is the biblical def of apostle |
Bible Note: Hi, This would be my half-cent worth. Paul, in calling himself the least of all apostles, was nonetheless acknowledging his apostleship. He considers himself not fit to called an apostle, and then acknowledges God's grace that he is an apostle. That's how I read it, but I am not about to be dogmatic about this. Love in Christ, Mark |
