Subject: Apostles, Prophets? An Office for Today? |
Bible Note: For information on how I arrived at the context argument of Apostles and Prophets used together to mean the 12 disciples, please refer to the Lexical Aid to the New Testament in the Key Word Study Bible word 4396. The Lexical aid uses resources from “A Greek-English Lexicon to the New Testament” By John Parkhurst, 1767; "Biblical-Theological Lexicon of the New Testament” by Hermann Cremer, 1895; “Synonyms of the New Testament” by R.C. Trench, 1876; and “An Exposity Dictionary of the New Testament Words” by W.E. Vine, 1940. Thank you for the discussion. You have helped me examine, on a deeper level, what I believe.
