I do not answer for the Catholic church as I am not catholic, nor am I Mormon as I was accused of being on another thread just because I commented on some of the things said about them...I am also not a Jew.
Your answers to me have been polite and I thank you for that. You never told me what you thought I was or was not...you did not put any judgment on me based on what I wrote...you tried to answer the question.
But I maintain that Jesus could have called him an apostle, but he did not....I found His words in scripture. Isn't it great that we live in a country with freedom of religion..
To use one of my examples, difference of opinion is what makes a horse race...and different denominations of Christians..
Most of us on these threads do not keep our religious affiliation a secret. I’m Presbyterian. What are you?
