Absolutely false — Jesus did not found the church on the apostles, . . .

I'm not so sure about that, Ed.

Eph 2:19-22 AV: "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
and of the household of God;
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone;
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

1 Corinthians 3:11
For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

As I see it, Jesus Christ is the foundation of the apostles and prophets...

Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

1Co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
1Co 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1Co 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Paul was a masterbuilder who built upon the foundation but Jesus was the foundation...

Act 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

As I see it...
