And Luke was not an apostle at all.

I won't quibble.....but the Orthodox consider him an Apostle. Others do as well. Personally, I don't think he was as he never saw the Lord....and this was one of the requirements. [1 Corinthians 9:1]

And as I've pointed out before, I think we've both presented our evidence. We both think we're right. And neither of us are convinced.

The difference in our positions on this matter is the same as it usually ends up....I provide scripture to support my position....you present tradition.

LOL--LMAO--ROTFLMAO!!! Well, maybe the American Indians are actually descendents of Israel, too. Maybe that's why the angel Moroni came and gave them the plates. (No offense to any Mormons who might be reading the thread.

Not knowing too much about the Mormons...I cannot say. But I do know a little about the word of God. [Amos 9:9] For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

Why would the Holy Spirit....in your opinion inspire those words to be written?
