@mbruggelivecom1 @Peacemaker811 @CovenantReform2 Junia obviously wasn't one of the 12, but there were more apostles than just the 12. Recall when Jesus appointed and sent out the 72 (Lk 10:1)? Those w

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 Jesus and the apostles talk in such a way as to not presume someone is eternally saved (and can’t be lost) just because they made a profession. Do you believe Ananias and Sapphira went pea...

@Rick07200430 @wichman_matthew @CherylSchatz @autocorrect2_0 So if you change your mind, do you keep doing it? If you thought fornication was great and you change your mind, do you continue thinking fornication is great and keep practicing it? Queue...

@Eric_Conn Hm. Didn’t the apostle Paul promote singleness? 🤔 https://t.co/3TFIiD

@jacob_lupton @smashbaals Paul was also an overseer as well as an apostle. He also encouraged everyone that if possible they could be single like him—which would mean no one would be qualified if being married was required. The funny part is that th...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT No, as the apostle Paul says in v28, “But if you marry, you have not sinned”—which is something that one might conclude given his advocacy for being single and unencumbered. For Paul this is all about dedication to the Lord and H...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Wow. I have to ask one more time then—if the command is to be fruitful (physically) and have children, then in your view, the apostle Paul’s encouragement that they all remain as he was—single—is a wish to violate a commandment of...

Paul was clearly *both* an apostle and an overseer. His letters are pastoral (esp 1Co, 2Co and Gal), he ministered in Ephesus for ~3 yrs (Ac 20:31). He was not there merely to plant a church and appoint elders, but spent significant time shepherding,...

@PatrickHen1776 @AJMxya @harmonizedgrace 3000 years? I think not because the the apostles didn’t restrict women and think that only wives submit. Further, many godly men and women have been wrong in the past…all the more if they are following what t...

@lastritesbefore So he didn’t wash your pastor’s feet, right? So your pastor is not qualified to serve as a pastor? Since: a: he is not an apostle and was not directly chosen by Christ, b: he is a gentile, and c: Jesus didn’t wash his feet …is that...

@Methodios007 The church is built on Jesus and the apostles, not on 12+++ (for centuries): “So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household, **having been built on the found...

@Methodios007 Why is that important? That distracts from the fact that we have the truth fully revealed already. The truth is not validated by succession, even by just being an apostle or even an Angel from heaven! Paul writes: “But even if *we, or...

@Methodios007 You are free to challenge me in my assertion that the scripture is enough. I'm taking the text at its own claim. I don't need a living bishop who supposedly received an anointing passed down from Peter or an apostle. Scripture does not ...
