Again it is Paul who says this...I want scripture where Jesus calls him apostle...God sent him, true, but when Jesus talked to him on the road to Damascus, he was not called to be an apostle by Jesus.

In cp. 9 vs:15-16 (Acts) Jesus calls Paul who was not even baptized when he was knocked off his horse "an instrument of mine to carry my name before the gentiles"

Thanks to all that answered but I give you Gods word as to what Paul was. It was not an apostle, but an instrument. Paul was Gods instrument not an apostle, right out of Jesus mouth to Ananias...

If anyone can find that false, please let me know..

well since the bible is the true and inspired word of God, and in it God explains through Paul, that He has ordained from the beginning Paul's place in the Plan of Salvation--- so... is Paul a liar? is God a liar? Do you not accept all of the NT as the inspired word of God?

is the bible the inspired word or not? just parts of it? how do you pick and choose which parts?

Paul saw and was taught of Christ

1 Cor 15:

that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 7 After that he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

8 Last of all, as to one born abnormally, he appeared to me. 9 For I am the least 4 of the apostles, not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am,

but when Jesus talked to him on the road to Damascus, he was not called to be an apostle by Jesus.

Really?

I didn't realize you were there! You hide your age very well!

even the Catholic church calls him The Apostle Paul”, not, “that instrument, Paul” altho some RCs call him “that tool, Paul”

So Paul was a liar? Scripture is in error and Rome canonized a liar?

It might help if you understood the Greek word for apostle..

apostolos

1) a delegate, messenger, one sent forth with orders

You admit that Paul was sent..thus by defination he was an apostle

Peter, james and John accepted Paul as an apostle, but Catholics won't because they do not like the message ....

Where did Jesus address Peter as " His holiness the pope"?
