Not seeing it in this thread Zone or any of the others she has posted in.
She is kind of vague and I doubt she knows what dispenstionalism means.
of course I could be mistaken.
I'm still waiting to see why she thinks Paul is disqualified to be an apostle and if she really knows WHY Jesus had apostles in the first place.

He most certainly is, to fulfill Scripture.
//Since the Church belongs to him he can appoint whom he chooses.//
No, God does not just simply do as He wishes, that is why He is called Holy, that is why He is a righteous & just judge.
//You also seem to believe that since he initially appointed 12 that that is somehow a restrictive number. //
Not restrictive, but distinctive, purposeful, to be appreciated.
//You still have not answered Acts 9:15.//
I believe I did. Maybe even more so in older posts.
Thank you, I am going to check back later.
in acts (15;23-30) in addition to peters endorsement in 1peter is a "mini letter" it,it seems is quoted completely by Luke and was written by the apostles and elders from Jerusalem.,,there are also 2 prophets(acts 15;32) sent with them to verify this in person(Silas and Judas),,,in (Galatians 2;7-9) Paul is referring to the letter he was given by the apostles and elders in (acts 15;23-30) although Paul is pointing out he had received the Gospel to preach before this from god in (gal.1;12) ,,,you may have already known this but i thought it good to mention that his apostleship was discussed in several places,,,,

I assure you I have read what you've written more than once.
Perhaps you truly are a poor communicator in written form, as many people (myself included
) are.
But at this point, I would have to say you seem, at the least, disingenuous.
It would be really helpful to me if you would clearly as possible state your beliefs about Paul's apostolic ministry,
whether you believe it to be of the Lord or not.
Because to deny it seems like you would also be denying the Truth spoken by the Holy Spirit through Paul.

That old saying, "That you got to learn to crawl, before you walk". Peter or Thomas, and the rest of them, has started off poorly. But after when Jesus has left them to go to the Father, they has grown spiritually. Paul didn't became a martyr (Taste death) like the rest had became, because God didn't have to go the extra mile with Paul, because Paul has shown his devotion to God by separating himself from his position and becoming humble.
Matthew 9:15Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.
Matthew 16:28“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”

"Paul, called by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and our brother" 1 Cor. 1:1
"Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God," Rom 1:1
"For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth." 1 Tim. 2:7.
“And He said to me, ‘Go! For I will send (ἐξαποστελῶ - will apostle) you far away to the Gentiles.” Acts 22:21.
If this is not enough, there are several other conformational passages.

Apostle:
Mark 16:15He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Luke 20:21So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.
John 18:37“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
The one that is distorting the Gospel.
John 8:44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
