Featured WAS THERE A FEMALE NT APOSTLE?

But remember, this was right when the disciples were tarrying in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. It's hard to believe that they were backslidden at this point and chose the wrong man.

As for not hearing of him again, there are several others of the 12 we never hear from again in Scripture, but there are historical records. Here is what the revised ISBE says about him: "Eusebius (HE i.12.3) believed that Matthias was one of the seventy sent out by Jesus (Luke 10:1). Clement of Alexandria (Misc. iv.6.23) suggests that Zacchaeus was the proper identification. Church tradition says that Matthias's body was sent by Constantine to Trier, where it was lost, miraculously recovered, and re-buried" (Vol. 3, p. 288).

Haven't heard this view before. I'll think about it.

I'll certainly agree with this. The Charismatic movement has twisted the office of apostle around until it is unrecognizable.

It's a pleasure.

 

I'll send you a postcard.
