No, I'm saying what the Scripture says, they are the foundation, just as I already wrote it. Foundation = built upon.

When you build a building you start with the foundation. The apostles and prophets built the foundation. No one denies that.

But was the foundation they laid constructed from?

The blood of Christ....the confession that "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God."

What did Paul, Peter, James, Timothy, Stephen, and the rest build the foundation on? JESUS CHRIST! He is the cornerstone.

And as Christians we are to continue building His building.

Read it again. It does not say the apostles and prophets built the foundation. Ephesians says they are part of the foundation. Matthew has The Lord Jesus promising to build his church upon this rock, after he just gave the name Peter to Simon/Shimon.

it's also customary to name your denomination, sect, or group. You should know these scriptures back and forth.
