He should be put to death. If the government doesn't do it, it's almost guaranteed that one of the inmates will.

2 Samuel 22:2 (among others) calls God "Petra." Your oversimplification of the text has led you to confusion. "You are Peter [petros, little rock, a boulder, larger than "lithos"], and upon this rock [petra, mass of rock, a cliff or ledge, distinct from petros] I will build My church."...

Guess I win?

That's what Scripture says. I'm just the messenger. It's too bad you disagree with Scripture. And one Apostle... ...for the Body of Christ, the second church. But for Israel, twelve Apostles, twelve tribes, twelve thrones, twelve gates, one Messiah. And when was that Epistle written...

Yes. But not the gospel of the Kingdom. We agree! But not an Apostle to the Jews! He provided the bulk of CHRISTIAN church doctrine, much of which was a mystery to the Twelve. False. The reason is that the Twelve, who were given the authority to do such things, chose Matthias, not Paul...

Noted! Thanks!

If the qualifications for being part of the Twelve were to write large portions of the New Testament, then most of the Twelve are disqualified. In other words, Paul writing half the New Testament isn't evidence that Paul was one of the Twelve, unless you want to disqualify most of the others...

No. We're saying that the Apostles (the Twelve including Matthias, not including Paul or Judas Iscariot) were not part of the church started by Paul. Saying it doesn't make it so. But none of them are the TWELVE Apostles who will sit on TWELVE thrones ruling over the TWELVE tribes of Israel...

So the Jerusalem Council was 17 years after Paul's conversion, which was about a year after Pentacost?

1) Using a verse from around a year after Matthias was chosen to fill the role (and had been filling) that Judas Iscariot was supposed to fill does not help your argument. 2) Yes, Paul stayed with the Apostles for a time. Guess what, though. There were already 12 of them. Scripture says so...

Not what I'm referring to. You'd think you'd have figured that out by now. False. Says the one spouting off random words... Yup. Every time you claim that homosexuals have a right to be perverse. False. Is that you're best Biden impression? You need to do better than that if you want...

False. Nope. At least what I say makes sense. Says the one sitting on the self-constructed high horse advocating that others be beholden to your religious ideals. Quit judging, you hypocrite. Maybe you should pay more attention then. I'll let you figure that one out yourself...

Now if they'd just ban all the porn accounts on Twitter...

Can you present any evidence to the contrary? Which kingdom? That's the overarching Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of Israel is a kingdom of it's own, that falls under the umbrella of the Kingdom of God.

False. It's more Christian than the churchianity (hi @Right Divider!) that most people adhere to these days. Saying it doesn't make it so. Saying it doesn't make it so. It's apathy to not care about whether someone is sinning. Good. Because you're not even talking about the same...

Since Clete already addressed this, I'll just say again that there is no evidence that indicates that he should be, only evidence that Matthias took over Judas's office, and in agreement with Clete, the only reason to think Paul was the twelfth is to satisfy the needs of one's doctrines. Clete...

Which just means that we've passed the litmus test for accurately preaching Paul's gospel, because He was accused of teaching the same thing. You prefer lies. Fix your post. As Derf said, you've made it extremely difficult for anyone to respond to it. Because the Bible shows that they...

As I alluded to in one of my posts above, I've not been entirely sure on a closely related issue, that being when God stopped accepting people into the New Covenant. Maybe you know?

Yawn. Saying it doesn't make it so. Appeal to popularity. Try an actual argument. As I said to Anna, apathy is a form of hatred, and it's a sin. If you hate your neighbor, you let them continue to harm themselves. If you love your neighbor, you warn them that what they're doing is...

This is what happens when you make broad accusations. I think you're nit-picking. Saying it doesn't make it so. The only authority is the Bible. But for non-authoritative guides, the book I have now mentioned twice, along with Bob Enyart's The Plot (the 2nd Edition will be available soon...
