The 12 Rested In Their Title of Apostle. Paul Constantly Badgered That He Was One Too

Paul was not at all shy about calling himself an apostle, but he was about the only one. In fact, in nine out of thirteen of his books, he introduces himself as an apostle of Yahshua, and in each case states in some way that his apostleship is by heavenly decree.

Here is the question.

Should we automatically believe the testimony of a person who makes grandiose claims about themselves when all we have for confirmation of their claim is little more than their word and maybe a statement or two from their best friend?

If so, then we should likewise confirm those like Jim Jones and David Koresh. Unless there is obvious corroborative evidence to support such claims, all of them should be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Unlike Paul, a true prophet or apostle does not have to go to such extraordinary lengths to convince the world they are who they say they are.

Even Yahshua said that if he alone bore witness of himself, his witness was invalid. John 5:31

And of all the people who shouldn’t need to have others testify on their behalf, Yahshua was that person. Yet he had Moses, the prophets, the Psalms, John the Baptist, the Fathers voice from heaven saying, “You are My beloved Son…” and hundreds of those who witnessed his resurrection.

Paul had none of these. Though in his conceit, he considered himself to be God’s special gift to the Gentiles, and claimed for himself a prophecy that was given exclusively to Isaiah in Isaiah 49:6.

“For so the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you to be a light to the Gentiles that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.” Acts 13:47

I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. John 5:43
