Athenians that God inhabits no sanctuary made by<br />

human hands.<br />

• 05. Ac 1:15 || I-Cor 15:6<br />

How can Christ have appeared to over 500<br />

Brothers at a time (prior to the ascension) when<br />

the entire Discipleship numbered only 120?<br />

• 06. Mt 10:2+40, 16:15-19 || Gal 2:6+11-13<br />

<strong>The</strong> explicit designation <strong>of</strong> Simon Peter as the<br />

foremost Apostle, with all the delegated authority<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Lord himself, logically precludes any other<br />

Disciple or Apostle opposing him ‘to his face’ and<br />

(worse yet) calling him a hypocrite. Had Paul<br />

indeed nothing to learn from the original Apostles?<br />

• 07. Mt 28:16-20, Ac 10:1-11:18, 15:7-8+13-18 ||<br />

Gal 2:6-9<br />

<strong>The</strong> Gospel doctrine is clearly that, after the<br />

resurrection, the remaining eleven Apostles were<br />

sent forth to proclaim the good news to the whole<br />

world. Paul nevertheless claims to be the one and<br />

only Apostle to the gentiles (‘the’ Apostle as he is<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten called), while Peter and the others according<br />

to this view were to be restricted to evangelizing<br />

among the Jews.<br />

• 08. Mt 5:48, Lk 1:6, Jn 1:14, 6:53-56 || Rom 8:8<br />
