Paul was not one of the original twelve whom Jesus chose (Simon Peter; Andrew; James and John, the sons of Zebedee; Phillip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon of the Zealot party; and Judas Iscariot, later replaced by #13,Matthias). He is considered an Apostle in the spiritual sense because of his great evangelism. You don't think he was worthy of being called an Apostle?

I should have been a little more specific in my previous post. The nature of Paul's conversion in Acts, Chapter 9 and the vision of Ananias tells us that Paul was called by Jesus in a vision and is considered to be the 'Apostle to the Gentiles'.

You don't think he was worthy of being called an Apostle? I do. It seemed to me that you were not considering him to be worthy, by calling him an "honorary" apostle.
