I'm not going to let you keep falsehoods posted to me, as much as I desire to be done with you.

"Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." (Matt. 19:28).

Who was Christ speaking to? The twelve Apostles. (In Acts, when Judas is replaced by Matthias, Matthias becomes the twelfth apostle who will sit upon a throne judging the twelve tribes of Israel).

Where does Paul sit in this arrangement? He too was an Apostle, personally commissioned by Christ, and yet, there seems to be no throne for him during the millennial reign. If, as you say, all the apostles taught and were taught the same things, uh, just where will Paul be? Serving the drinks and food?

Obviously, he won't be on one of those thrones, Because he is not one of the twelve that will judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Obviously, because his commission was not the same as the twelve. It is DIFFERENT. As in, NOT THE SAME. If this is different, then, obviously, God differentiates according to His will. You may not like it, but it's HIS plan, not yours.

The keys to understanding are to whom Jesus spoke, regarding the things prophesied to whom. Paul, the Apsotle to the Gentiles; Peter the Apostle to the Hebrews ... hmmm, Houston Rome, we have a problem.

You have failed again to in any way establish any falsehood in any post I’ve made to you.

You do have one falsehood in your post. Matthias was never appointed by Yeshua as an apostle; that was a disobedient act by men. Apostles can only be selected by Yeshua, although I fail to see what point you are attempting to make.

Your plan is not God’s plan, no matter how much you may desire it to be. You appear to have some indiscernable argument with Paul, without whom most of the NT writings would not exist, but what?

Perhaps some clarification would help?

How does any of this rambling rant relate to my post #517 to which you replied?
