DO JESUS CONTINUES TO CALL AN APOSTLE IN OUR PRESENT TIME ? Another Controversial Topic 15

DO JESUS CONTINUES TO CALL AN APOSTLE IN OUR PRESENT TIME ?

Many believe not that Jesus our Lord will continue to call an apostle in our present time, They said that if there is someone to claim that he is an apostle, he is a false apostles :

2 Corinthians 11: 13 New International Version (NIV)

¹³ For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.

Apostle Paul wrote this words regarding false apostle but not there is no true apostle,

It so happen that there are impostor and masquerading  to be an apostle, a deceitful worker.

As what I said aside from that verse having a wrong interpretation, many still do not believe that the Lord will continue to call an apostle because of this another verse again:

1 Corinthians 15:9

For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

What is written here, Paul is not the last apostle but least among all of the apostles

Why Paul considered himself as least among all the apostles of Jesus ?

Because he persecuted the church, killed them when he is innocent about the truth, and another thing is, He explain why apostles are least among all servants of God ?

Because apostles that time paraded as prisoners in a procession, condemned to die in the arena, this happened in the Time of Inquisition as Church History. 

1 Corinthians 4: 9  New International Version (NIV)

⁹ For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.

So, there is no verse showing that Apostle Paul is the last apostle of Christ, it is only because of misunderstood and wrong interpretation regarding Least Apostle or Apostles Last.

NOW, WHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT THE LORD WILL CONTINUE TO CALL AN APOSTLE EVEN  IN  THE  PRESENT  TIME  OR  THIS  END  TIME  PERIOD ?

LET US STUDY DEEPLY WHAT IS WRITTEN :

IN LUKE CHAPTER 6, THERE ARE ALREADY 12  APOSTLES CALLED BY JESUS :

Luke 6:13

And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles.

BUT IN LUKE CHAPTER 11, HE WILL STILL CONTINUE TO CALL, NOTE THAT CHAPTER 6 IS PREVIOUS BEFORE CHAPTER 11 WRITTEN :

Luke 11: 49  King James Version (KJV)

⁹ Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

As what is written, “ I will send them ” ( a future tense from the word “ I will "),  although there are already 12 apostles called in Chapter 6, but in Chapter 11 still the Lord said “I will ” or will continue to send again an apostle )

Note: Please understand also the word "some" : means not all, not all apostles shall slay but at present will be persecuted -  and some of them they shall slay and persecute.

WHERE’S THE PROOF THAT AFTER THE 12 APOSTLES JESUS CONTINUES TO CALL ADDITIONAL APOSTLES ?

Acts 13:2

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where unto I have called them.

Acts 14:14

Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

Paul and Barnabas were also called to be an Apostles after the calling of 12 + 2 = 14 

There are now 14 of them (14 Apostles ), but in fact there are about more than 17 Apostles written in the Bible, which is our stand that others does not know and does not have.

This is our stands that others truly know not the Whole Scripture, even in My Blogs revealed some of it about Bible Teachings Controversial Topic, now going to 20 Topical Apostle and Christ Doctrine. 

TRUTH IS NOT JUST A PART BUT THE WHOLE :

Psalm 119: 160  New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶⁰ All your words are true; all ( the whole of ) your righteous laws are eternal.

Psalm 119:160 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶⁰ Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Every One of thy righteous judgment - means the Whole will prove that a Part is not the Whole Truth.

Psalm 119: 160  Amplified Bible (AMP) 
The sum of Your word is truth [the full meaning of all Your precepts],
And every one of Your righteous ordinances endures forever.

Here in Amplified Version of the Bible simplified what I am trying to emphasize " The sum of Your word is truth "-The sum means Total or Whole, This whole or sum will prove others mistakes and errors.

This is why I am insisting and continue to insist to all readers to read My Blogs, because we have the spirit of truth and not the spirit of error but sure words of prophecy :

1 John 4: 6 King James Version (KJV)

⁶ We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Titus 2: 7 Amplified Bible (AMP)

⁷ And in all things show yourself to be an example of good works, with purity in doctrine [having the strictest regard for integrity and truth], dignified,

2 Peter 1: 19 King James Version (KJV)

¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

In fact there is no such any comment I received against my blogs, they cannot argue only is to accept the whole truth of what is written, one thing, resulting to have a friend from Kenya ( Africa ) when he red my Blogs he was enlightened although he is studying the Bible from Seventh (7^th) Day Adventist who is so strict about the Law ( Mosaic Law ) and wants to follow all the 613 Commandments of God, from which we could not be justified by the Law of Moses ( Acts 13: 39 ), Now my Kenyan friend knows the Truth including that, it is really indeed Sunday that the Lord gave as a Worship Day for the people of God to the Gentile Nations, he was enlightened because of the truth published through this link :

https://143hearbeatministryandservicestoall.blogspot.com  -  now going up to 20 Bible Teachings, Christ and Apostle’s Doctrine, and many more to follow.

WHY IS IT THAT OTHERS KNOW NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH AND CAN’T DEFEND IT ?

Mark 4: 11 New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables.

If you are not in the True Church everything will be a Mystery because even the Gospel is a Mystery :

Ephesians 6:19

Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.

As what is written, The Gospel is a Mystery, this is why many of them have so much wrong interpretation :

2 Peter 1: 20 King James Version (KJV)

²⁰ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

Like what you already red about 1 Corinthians 15: 9, about Least among all The Apostles, using this verse reasoning that no more apostle to be called at present time, which indeed the meaning of this verse in 1 Corinthians 15: 9 was explained to 1 Corinthians 4: 9 - that Paul considered the apostles as least because they were condemned to die in the arena and have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings.

WHERE IS NOW THE VERSE THAT REALLY JESUS WILL CONTINUE TO CALL AN APOSTLE EVEN AT PRESENT TIME?

HERE IS THE VERSE FOR SATISFACTION :

Romans 1: 5-6  King James Version (KJV)

⁵ By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: ⁶ Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

Please do not be offended about the truth that will be revealed in this verses, because those who will be stumbled will result to disobedient, where unto also appointed :

1 Peter 2: 8 King James Version (KJV)

⁸ And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

NOW, LET US LEARN THIS VERSES THAT MANY ARE NOT IN THIS STATUS OF FAITH 

1^st : By whom ( from Jesus ) we have received grace and apostleship:

Means that grace starts from a person who will received an office of apostleship through Jesus Christ.

Apostleship is an office to receive, a continuing office, many receives this office died, but the office remains.

Like for example : The Office of Presidency, many who received this kind of office died but the office of presidency not, but continues to elect another one.

2^nd : for obedience to the faith among all nations: 

Means that, it is he who received grace and apostleship is the one to be use by God for obedience to the faith among all nations.

3^rd : Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 

Means that, it is them who received grace and apostleship, among them, God will call His people as Church.

Why also the called ?  as also what is written :

The 1^st Church called by God is the Israel, by calling first a prophet ( Prophet Moses ), they were called “ Church in the wilderness ”.

Acts 7: 38

This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

I also published here in my blogs “The True Meaning of Church” from Greek Word “ Ecclesia ” originated from root word “ EK ” means “exit” and “KALEO” means “called”, 

That The Church of Christ were called by calling first an apostle, in the Old Testament called first Moses in which they were also called “ Church in the wilderness ”.

This is what is what is written and Apostle Paul explain to us that the time they received grace and apostleship also the starts or the beginning that Jesus will call His Lost Sheep’s gone stray to all nations.

IF YOU DENY THIS TRUTH YOU WILL FALL INTO DISOBEDIENCE.

Matthew 16:18

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The Church that has living apostle, they are the one having an assurance that they were called by God, that is the basis and what is written, for God will set some in the Church, first the apostle.

1 Corinthians 12: 28

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

So first apostles and secondarily prophet by the spirit not prophet like Moses, Isaias, Ezekiel who were prophets in the Old Testament but prophet by the spirit or spiritual prophet :

Ephesians 3:5

Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Here also you will know the truth about prophets, that if a man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual prophet, he must acknowledge the apostle, this is what Apostle Paul trying to emphasize, he must submit himself to the real sent one of Jesus.

1 Corinthians 14:37

If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

The calling of Prophet ended up to John The Baptist :

Luke 16: 16  King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

When we say were until John, means ended up to John The Baptist only.

But why some believe that there are still prophets existing nowadays ?

Like Morris Cerullo, whom most Born Again Christian believe that he is a prophet and Cindy Jacobs as prophetess ?

According to what the Lord Jesus said “ The law and the prophet were until John.

What the Lord Jesus said that there will be no more Prophet like them in the Old Testament 

To whom you will believe ?

Of course Jesus and what is written “prophet by the spirit or spiritual prophet who will acknowledge the sent one apostle :

THE SENT ONE :

Romans 10: 14-15  King James Version (KJV)

 ¹⁴ ” How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher? ^{15 "} And how shall they preach, except they be sent ? … "

As what is written : How shall they preach, except they be sent ?

The Question Is :

Are you sent by Jesus to preach the gospel ?

Did Jesus Christ our Lord sent you to preach the gospel to all nation ?

Don’t you ever use Mark 16:15, for you were not there when Jesus commanded his apostles to preach the gospel to all creature, you are not one of them, and it is not you can teach all to observe what the Lord Jesus commanded :

Matthew 28: 20

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

IT IS WRITTEN :

FOR HE THAT COMMENDED HIMSELF IS NOT APPROVED OF GOD :

2 Corinthians 10:18

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

Jeremiah 27:15

For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

WHAT ELSE ?  Those who were not sent will fall into this :

Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version (KJV)

²¹ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Iniquity are to those who did not obey whom the Lord sent :

Luke 10: 16  New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”    

WHY ?

John 3: 34  King James Version (KJV)

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

THOSE WHO ARE SENT SPEAKS THE WORD OF GOD, THOSE WHO REJECT THE SENT ONE OF GOD REJECTS JESUS AND REJECTS EVEN THE FATHER GOD:
