For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle
of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:" (Rom 11:13)
"...the apostle Paul......in this study we are going to give consideration to Paul’s introduction to
his epistle to the Galatians, where he wrote:
“Paul, an apostle, ( not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,
and God the Father, Who Raised Him from the dead; )”
Now if you’re familiar with Paul’s epistles, you know that he didn’t alwaysintroduce himself as an apostle...
...the Corinthians were doubting his apostleship, or Paul wouldn’t have had
to write them things like:
“Am I not an apostle?...If I be not an apostle unto others,
yet doubtless I am to you” (1 Cor. 9:1,2).
“Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you...”
(2 Cor. 12:12)...
"(R Kurth)

Introducing the apostle Paul
--------------------
Apparently some think I am in the wrong group, but have yet to Scripturally
advise me as to "which" group is the Right one; is it?:
1) The one that follows the apostle Peter? or:
2) The ones that follow the Twelve apostles, with Matthias??
Disregarding Paul... or:
3) The ones that follow the Twelve apostles, without Matthias, but with Paul??? or:
4) The ones that follow THIRTEEN apostles, homogenizing 2 and 3
(and all their doctrines)???? Confusion...
5) a modern-day-so-called 'apostle' that has not "the signs of an apostle"?????What Saith The Scriptures?:
1Ti 1:16 "Howbeit for this cause I Obtained Mercy, that in me first
Jesus Christ might shew forth all Longsuffering, for a Pattern to
them which should hereafter believe on Him to Life Everlasting."
1Co_11:1 "Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ."
Eph_5:1 "Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;"
Thus, the Scriptural Grace group to which I am committed is:The Apostle Paul, to whom was committed The Greatest
Revelation of all time: “The Mystery”... (Rom - Phm)!
All Praise and Thanks Be Unto The LORD Jesus Christ!!
you, Precious friends?
Grace, Peace, And JOY In Christ, And In His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided (+ I and II)!
