Dunno, I'm reading the Holy Bible.........
Matthew 6:25) Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 .) Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 .) Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 .) And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 .) And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 .) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 .) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 .) (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 .) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 .) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

PAul was an apostle.
The only reason to try and remove him
is because he tells the truth
that the MAN OF SIN
which is a flase teacher
would come and preach false doctrines
and sit in a temple
and call himself God
and pretend that he is God
and people would fall for it
and worship him
instead of JEsus
and then he would call himself
Vicarius Filii Dei
whcih means
*INSTEAD of God, ME!"
And he would teach Millions to always
break the commandments
and FORGET the day of God
and worship on his day of the sun instead
teaching everyone to break Gods commandments
like he had pwoer to change them
he doesn;t
he has no power at all in heaven and on earth.
Except the power to lie
and he would put his vicarius filli Dei mark on every artivcle to be bought or sold on the planet
so when you buy them you have to worship him
because he says he is God of this earth
2 Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
2 Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2 Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2 Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2 Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Notice he has MIRACLES
and LYING WONDERS
know any churches that over the last 1600 years
claims to have miracles?
bleeding stautes?
Bleeding pictures?
artifacts, and bones of the apostles?
yeah it is the MAN of SIN who lives in a temple
they liked paul until one day some bored Jesuit actually read the Bible
and they said
OH WOW
he is talking bad about us!
ok he cant be an apostle!
Ignore them
ignore the man of sin
accept the man of Love
accept the man of sinlessness
Jesus!thrown the vicarius in the trash
it is only
Filii Dei!
the Son of God only!
throw the RFID in the trash
with it yo will be worshipping 666

// There were more than 12 apostles.//
Yeah, Danschance, I never said there wasn't.
I never even said Paul wasn't an apostle for that matter. All over the place people have been wildly reactionary, inserting and reaching conclusions of interesting proportions. I expect it, because I have been there myself. Why do you think we read of the 12 apostles, even 11 but never a number 14, 19, 21? Honest question, then maybe we can see why Paul was disqualified to replace Judas, instead of trying so hard not to see it.

I've skimmed through this whole thread and still have no clear picture of what LovePink believes........
First we should establish clearly the answers to these questions:
1. WHAT qualities do you believe Paul is lacking that would disqualify him to be an apostle of Christ?
2. Even though Paul is lacking those qualities do you believe Jesus made him an apostle anyway or do you deny Paul's apostleship?
None of her statements have really said one way or the other.
the OP simply states that Paul is different than Peter. Paul was sent to the Gentiles, while Peter preached the Jews. Paul has said they are both ONE body in Christ. Most people would acknowledge their ministries/ duties are different.
However both Paul and Peter were called apostles in Christ.
I'm just going to leave some Bible verses that affirm Paul's qualifications and Peter's endorsement of Paul, then go read a few more threads to try and figure out what LovePink's stance is................
[h=3]2 Peter 3:14-16[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; [SUP]15 [/SUP]and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, [SUP]16 [/SUP]as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
[h=3]1 Corinthians 9[/h]
9 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord? [SUP]2 [/SUP]If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
[h=3]Philippians 3:4-6[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]4 [/SUP]though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: [SUP]5 [/SUP]circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; [SUP]6 [/SUP]concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Paul was as qualified as any of Jesus other apostles concerning the law or his blood lines.
Therefore I'm unsure why you would believe the statement you place in your title and none of your posts really explain or support the statement that
"Paul was not qualified to be an apostle "
do you really believe that statement or where you just trying to catch people's attention?

God forces no one
you may die if you so choose.
It isnt the law you hate
it is the fact that sunday is sinning
and you have to invent something to get rid of that fact.
Paul kept the Sabbath
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
They dont like the truth.
Paul was a true teacher
he said NO MORE Preists except for Jesus
(this is why the Jews killed him)
and he kept the Sabbath (this is not why the Jews killed him)
obviously the law of sacrifices is completed and fulfilled but the ten commanments are eternal
Just before Jesus comes
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
You can be there TOO!
you can come out the the man of sin's false Pagan babylonian sun god worship too
It was invented in 321 AD by the man of sin
His church invented it
they admit it.
Jesus' grace is sufficient for you too.

I thought you were joking, sorry.

No, there is not.

12 apostles: one to minister to each of the lost tribes of Israel. However, God sent more to the other people in the world. He commission all His disciples to preach His Gospel to the world. Peter had his vision concerning it and Jesus continued to teach His disciples and apostles about what Scripture really meant even after He ascended into heaven. How there is only ONE root and all branches are growing from Him both grafted and natural.
Paul didn't replace Judas. Acts 1 says the apostles choose "Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
The purpose of the apostleship was to be a witness to Jesus resurrection: Acts 1 v. 22,
which Paul did witness upon the road. He was able to say Jesus is NOT dead but Alive. He became "a witness with us(the apostles) of His resurrection"
He might not have walked with Jesus while He was physically there but Paul was lead by the Holy Spirit to be an apostle.
do you think Apostleship an honor to be sought or do you recognize it as a duty that requires much labor and sacrifice?
1 Corinthians 4
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. [SUP]10 [/SUP]We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored! [SUP]11 [/SUP]To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. [SUP]12 [/SUP]And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; [SUP]13 [/SUP]being defamed, we entreat. We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

Peter the Apostle told us to read and follow all of Pauls writings
2 Pet 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2 Pet 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2 Pet 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
Peter says
STUDY PAULS WRITINGS OR YOU WILL FALL FROM THE FAITH
