LOL, nice way to move the goal posts... Easy to be right when you change your stance half way through...
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
There it is, Romans 1. There is other scripture as well, not going to bother right now. I wasn`t criticizing the 12, they failed because Israel failed to unite behind them. Therefore the reconciling of the world came by their fall instead of by their rise as prophecied.
That`s why Israel rejected Yeshua. Israel was looking for a warrier Messiah. So Israel still waits for her promise to be fulfillled. And it will be which is why there will another another age on this earth after this one ends.
Let the record show:
Not at all, the gospel of Paul fulfilled this. The 12 couldn`t get the job done. Erasing Paul is the only way your belief system can work.
Got a verse that says that?
or did you just make that up? Because their names are on the foundations of the kingdom
Revelation 21:14, "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."
Seems to me they did their job.
Peter was martyred in Rome about 66 AD, during the persecution under Emperor Nero.Crucified, upside down at his request, because he did not feel he was worthy to die in the same manner as the Messiah.
Andrew went to the "Mand of the Man-Eaters," in what is in modern times Russia. Christians there he was the first to bring the gospel to their land. He also preached in Asia Minor, modern-day Turkey, and in Greece, where he is said to have been crucified.
Thomas was probably most active in the area east of Syria. Tradition has him preaching as far east as India, where the ancient Marthoma Christians revere him as their founder. They claim that he died there when pierced through with the spears of four soldiers.
Philip possibly had a powerful ministry in Carthage in North Africa and then in Asia Minor, where he converted the wife of a Roman proconsul. In retaliation the proconsul had Philip arrested and cruelly put to death.
Matthew the tax collector and writer of a Gospel, ministered in Persia and Ethiopia. Some of the oldest reports say he was not martyred, while others say he was stabbed to death in Ethiopia.
Bartholomew had widespread missionary travels attributed to him by tradition: to India with Thomas, back to Armenia, and also to Ethiopia and Southern Arabia. There are various accounts of how he met his death as a martyr for the gospel.
James the son of Alpheus, is one of at least three James referred to in the New Testament. There is some confusion as to which is which, but this James is reckoned to have ministered in Syria. The Jewish historian Josephus reported that he was stoned and then clubbed to death.
Simon the Zealot so the story goes, ministered in Persia and was killed after refusing to sacrifice to the sun god.
Matthais was the apostle chosen to replace Judas. Tradition sends him to Syria with Andrew and to death by burning.
John is the only one of the company generally thought to have died a natural death from old age. He was the leader of the church in the Ephesus area and is said to have taken care of Mary the mother of Jesus in his home. During Domitian's persecution in the middle 90's, he was exiled to the island of Patmos. There he is credited with writing the last book of the New Testament--the Revelation.
