I know what you say about the disciples is true, but I'm confused by the count. Originally, there were 12, right? One of them was Judas, so that leaves 11. Then, Paul was accepted as one of them, so that makes 12 again. Except that Paul's name isn't on your list, is it? Please explain, for those of us not as knowledgable in biblical history.

Thanks!

No, Matthias was chosen as the new 12th Apostle. Paul was never an Apostle per se, but oddly enough did more than the others in my opinion to spread the Word.
