Hi DonHe had scripture
God sent an apostle with authority to teach as per matt 28:19 “go and teach”
I would think first things first so we can be on the same page and book.
The key word apostle must be defined according to sola scriptura .
Apostle sent messenger with no other meaning added ,Fed Z , UPS, Western Union, Pony express, My wives errand the old boy Mr. G Lee. (ETC)
Change the meaning of one word changes the authroity of the author . . . spiritual plagiarism, having other gods before God the Creator .
Therefore violating the loving commandment not to add new meaning of one word or taking away the foundation not subject to change
Deuteronomy 4:1-2King James Version4 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.Ye shall not add unto the word (singular) which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it,(singular) that ye may keep the commandments (plural) of the Lord your God which I command you.
Protecting his integrity in another simular loving warning at the end of the book of prophecies this in respect to the whole perfect .Both working as one needed to protect his integrity (sola scriptura)
In searching the scriptures the living word In I John 2, Christ in us warns us of those who say we need dying mankind to teach us .Personally I would not challenge His authority as it is written (sola scriptural)
When you say sent authority . Sent with whose authority? Dying mankind the ones with beautiful feet shod with the gospel of peace called apostles?
Sends them out even today two by two. One plants the incorruptible born again seed (1 Peter 1:23) another waters it with the water of the word (Ephesians 5:26)doctrines coming down like gospel rain
But today sent messengers as preachers would never blaspheme the Holy name if our Holy Father in heaven .God alone is the one good teaching master .He teaches guides contorts and miraculously brings to our memory the previous things he has taught as well as memory of each other(John 14:26)
Defining the word apostle in 1 Corinthians 3 and 4 speaks directly to the matter . . envying strife .Who is the greatest?
ho
1 Corinthians 4:3-8 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. (fruit) So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Chapter 3 same warning of puffing up dying mankind above sola scriptura . It is Gods living word that make men different not the Pope?
What does the Pope have that was not freely given from our Holy Father Christ.?
1 Corinthians 3:6-7 And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
How would you define the word apostle?
