Why would you desire to make the apostles as gods (a legion) in the likeness of men other than $$$$$?
Your view is not of the scriptures .Again words have meaning. And law against changing the meaning needed to change intent.
Apostles "sent one" with no other meaning added.
Example. I sent my son Bobby as a apostle with a list of things to purchase from Piggly Wiggly . He is a reliable apostle not adding or subtracting from my written will. . .
God sent the apostle Abel with prophecy . He is the first martyr..
God sent Balaam's Donkey as a apostle putting his words of prophecy in its mouth. The words of faith stopped the madness of that false prophet
Numbers 22:27-29 King James Version (KJV)And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Donkeys as unclean animals are used to represent faithless mankind . other animal that represent Christ like a lamb must be redeemed by the lamb or break its neck also using falling backward to represent the spirit of judgement. This again show us God is not served neither does he live in by the corrupted hands of mankind in any way shape or form .
To emphases he gives us two witnesses in the parables. Hiding the gospel understanding witness he is not served by corrupted human hands. Like a fellow name Oral Roberts as false prophets like Balaam ..
(1)E
xodus 13:13 And every firstling of an
ass thou shalt
redeem with a
lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt
break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
(2)
Exodus 34:20 But the firstling of an
ass thou shalt
redeem with a
lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
What's the Hebrew word for "sent one" the Greek use apostle.. or did God not send men in the old testament with His prophecy (gospel words)?
Do you practice Catholicisim?
