apostles

The reference was to the 12 apostles of Jesus - they were low in standing and generally unschooled.

He thinks fulfillment theology is some sort of error, but it's exactly what the apostles came to believe and practice.

Jesus and the apostles and prophets actually went the other way and said that Christians should serve others instead of themselves.

And if we include the apostles, what about the Catholic 'continuation' of that?

Look, I am skeptical of those Tim Ferris apostles whose "passive income" businesses are based on spammy blogs, apps, and affiliate sites.

New Apostolic Reformationists believe that there are increasing number of "new apostles" who are receiving messages from God, which they see as evidence of the end times.

But Christ himself, as far as we know, never referenced Buddha or any Buddhist works, never interacted with a practitioner of the faith (or even referred to one), and all the same applies to the Apostles.
