The Bible also has Paul who was not there.. as an Apostle bc he was called by God to be so.. There are others when people leave tradition and allow the Bible to actually teach what it says
Many of Paul's letters to the churches open with "I, Paul, called to be an apostle" .. or even more pronounced than that in Galatians .. "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead". Christ personally spoke to Paul on the Damascus road. Paul, the author of over half the NT written under the inspiration of God. The bible does not teach that there are others similar today. I have often asked for those who claim that there is to name one ? Can you ?
