An honest reader cannot read Paul's epistles and miss the way that he uses words that differ so greatly from the twelve, etc.

Take the word(s) "disciple*" [eg. disciple, disciples]

In the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the word(s) appear 226 times... in Paul's epistles: ZERO.

I never saw that before. Funny that the authors of Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1,2,3 John, and Revelation ALSO never used the word disciple. They are soooooo different from the 12.

Now, what were you going to say about that difference?

Edit: I forgot Jude. He never used it either.
