As I said, it was a sincere question. But your only point was that no one argued with him about it....so I still have no reason as to why he called himself that... Paul repeatedly said in the beginning of each of his epistles that he was an apostle of Jesus Christ. Rom. 1:1;11:13; 1 Cor. 1:1;9:2;15:9; 2Cor. 1:1;12:12; Gal. 1:1;2:8; Eph. 1:1; Col. 1:1; 1Tim. 1:1;2:7; 2Tim.1:1;1:11; Titus 1:1. Even Peter speaks of the Lord speaking through prophets and the apostles in 2 Peter 3:2 and Paul specifically in 2 Peter 3:15. Paul called himself that because Christ appeared to him and comission him to be one and to take the gospel to the gentiles.
You may very well be right, but can I have chapter and verse where Jesus calls him an apostle, thats what I want to find....I know the 12 were to go only to the Jews and Paul to the gentiles, but I am stuck on Paul giving himself the name apostle....If you give me chapter and verse, I will be satisfied, and have a biblical answer to my question, there were 12 tribes in Israel and 12 apostle's, Paul makes it 13 and I don't think that is in scripture, I may be wrong, but want to find out....thanks
And quoting Paul is not valid for me to find where God said Saul, who he called by a new name Paul, but I want where in scripture He calls him an apostle..
