Nothing is as good as God . Good is defined by his invisible presence the Holy Place of faith. Even Jesus who says his flesh profits for nothing when called good master gave glory to father not see and said only God is good. Would you elevate the apostles above Jesus?
You are inventing an authority. Same kind used in Catholicism. Venerated ones teaching the pew. the non venerable. ..called Apostolic succession ….men according to the law of their fathers CCC #80 a divine authority like you are offering
(Act 1:21-22 KJV is simply saying they were witnesses as witnesses of men .No adding new meaning to any word ….it can change the intent of the one author of Scripture and the commandments . And no the apostles private interpretation never become the interpretation of God. Peter attempted that in Mathew 16: 22-23 when he forbid the lord for carrying out the gospel
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word (singular) which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it (singular) , that ye may keep the commandments( plural) of the Lord your God which I command you.
I would think Abel was the first prophet, apostle and first martyr .

I am inventing 'authority'when you are the one introducing the word 'venerate' which I never used and now you are accusing me of venerating them???
My thesis is that on earth there is no greater visible authority than God's Word. Does that sound like Rome to you?
So tell me, who else gave us Scripture besides the Jewish Apostles and Jewish Prophets?
Here is a hint...
Romans 3:1-2 (KJV) What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Most of these today, claiming Apostolic Authority are not even Jewish, let alone Apostles or Prophets.

Paul was both Jew and Roman, and Luke was identified as non-Jewish by Paul in Colossians 4:10-14 
Moses was a Hebrew.
Moses was a Hebrew.
Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
(Php 3:5 KJV)
Luke wasn't an Apostle but wrote under the authority of the Apostles. There is a debate whether he was Jewish or not. Paul said nothing about Luke's status in Col 4:14.
Re: Moses, I don't make a distinction between Hebrew, Israelite and Jew. If I did I'd be accused of nit picking lol.
Could you then explain what Romans 3 is referring to?
What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
(Rom 3:1-2 KJV)
Paul identified the only Jews working with him in Colossians 4 as his fellow prisoner Aristarchus, plus Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, and Jesus, who is called Justus, saying specifically, "These are the only Jews among my co-workers for the kingdom of God." He goes on to identify Epaphras as "one of you," and then mentions "Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas." Luke was therefore identified as not being a Jew. Nor was Moses a Jew, for he was Hebrew. Jews are not identified as a people until the second book of Kings in the KJV. Many Scriptures had already been written by then such as Samuel, Judges, Joshua, and the Pentateuch, which was written by Moses, a Hebrew

And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
(Exo 2:1-3 KJV) etc.
Paul was of the Tribe of Benjamin, yet called himself a Jew. It's in that sense, I am using the term Jew.
And as I said, even if Luke wasn't Jewish, he wrote under the oversight of Jewish Apostles.

I was at a meeting the other day (Saturday) and one of the guys who shared said, "Ever want to make a friend? Tell them you are wrong. You will have an instant friend!" I may be paraphrasing somewhat, but that was the gist of it. People so seldom admit when they are wrong, it is truly a breath of fresh air when someone does. It shows humility, and a teachable spirit.
Or we dodge certain questions. Let me try again...

(Rom 3:1-2 KJV)
Are you saying that Rom 3:1-2 is not necessarily true? I was only trying to give explanations of why it is accurate...not trying to say I am right or wrong...only as a Christian, I believe Scripture is without error.

And I already made it clear in what sense I used the term "Jew'. Your link was a non answer to Rom 3:1-2.
I showed where Moses was of the tribe of Levi and Paul was of Benjamin etc., but then you want some sort of confession?
As far as the term Jew goes, I am taking it as the natural lineage of Abraham through Isaac through Jacob, that is why Paul calls himself a Jew even though he was of the Tribe of Benjamin.
Anyhow good bye...back to the Keys, Keys, Keys.

U
You are correct.
Moses was both a Jew and a Hebrew.
The term Hebrew almost always occurs in the Hebrew Bible as a name given to the Israelites by other peoples, rather than one used by themselves.
The term Jew didn't exist in his time, but the term Jew refers to the people who belong to the eternal covenant God gave to Moses. Thus, he can correctly be called a Jew.

Some might quibble over this and say that Moses was an Israelite, but in the NT Jew and Israel (ite) are interchangeable. The term Jew came into effect after the Babylonian captivity and pertains to those who were from Judah (Yehudi). At that time it was used by those who were not Jews
Luke may have been a Hellenistic Jew.
