Subject: who was judus repacement as an apostal |
Bible Note: 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 |
