Please reread my post.
The living, mortal apostles continued after the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Acts 16:4-5--King James Version (KJV)
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
ALL SORTS of Christians continued after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. . .AND they all physically died WITH NO PROVISION TO REPLACE ANY OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS EXCEPT JUDAS. NEVER did Jesus REQUIRE that HIS CHURCH have 'mortal apostles' as a CONTINUING PART OF HIS EARTHLY CHURCH
Joey smith MADE THAT UP. You can find NOTHING FROM GOD IN HIS WORD (THE BIBLE) to support you.
Do you think Jesus 'just forgot' to set something up?
That joey smith was SMARTER than Jesus?
BTW JESUS continues TO THIS DAY, at the right hand of His Father, just as the REAL apostles continue TO THIS DAY IN HEAVEN.
Just because you 'call' a dozen or so folks 'apostles' or 'seventies' or 'swishy-swashers' DOES NOT MAKE THEM BECOME THOSE THINGS OR IN ANY WAY 'SPECIAL' IN THE EYES OF GOD.
All it does is show the BIBLICAL IGNORANCE of those folks who participate in that junk. BOTH those who CALL them those things, AND those who CALL THEMSELVES those things. BIBLICAL IGNORANCE is RAMPANT in your cult.
