Just a sincere question. God never called Paul an apostle, he called himself that....why? Getting knocked off a horse or being blinded by a light does not make one an apostle..

None of the other apostles argued with Paul calling himself an apostle, what’s your issue here?

“Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither BY MAN, but BY JESUS CHRIST, and GOD THE FATHER, who raised Him from the dead;). Galatians 1:1.

Some say the criteria was to have seen Christ and been commissioned by Him to plant churches etc.Paul qualifies.
