Revelation 21:14 says "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." Why is there no 13th foundation for the name of Paul, the 13th apostle? Because there are only 12? I've written a piece at my blog detailing my doubts as to the accuracy of the claim in Galatians 1:1 that Paul is an apostle of Jesus Christ directly rather than merely an apostle BY MEN, seeing as how the book of Acts seems to make Paul an apostle only of the church at Antioch along with Barnabas (Acts 14:14), and how he doesn't meet the apostolic criteria layed down by Peter as being one who has "accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us." (Acts 1:21-22) Even in Paul's third (and embellished) recounting of his vision of the bright light and of the voice, in Acts, he does not place the word "you will be an APOSTLE" nor "THE apostle to the Gentiles" in the mouth of the voice. I would appreciate it if someone could prove me wrong. <A HREF="http://egopaulus.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">http://egopaulus.blogspot.com/</A>PaulSceptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904172612565533112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21237369.post-1142122015012428382006-03-11T19:06:00.000-05:002006-03-11T19:06:00.000-05:00it's interesting at best...bad theology at worstit's interesting at best...bad theology at worstkarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02829591548143872277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21237369.post-1142091395396516342006-03-11T10:36:00.000-05:002006-03-11T10:36:00.000-05:00Would you recommend the movie the apostle?Would you recommend the movie the apostle?gretchenjohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693570001061223958noreply@blogger.com
