Thank you very much, I appreciate reading from the Bible and making it clear

It has a good ending to it. Many (generally dispensationalist rapturist) will say the one taken is the good one. The simple parable of the Wheat and Tares illustrates briefly the whole Christian era until the Harvest at the second coming of Jesus. It shows a simple two age system: this age and the eternal one to come. There is no insertions of a 7 year trib. period, nor do Christians vanish in a secret rapture.

I think I have posted enough Scripture here, some of it is Scripture you quoted, to demonstrate to the readers how you destroy context and draw conclusions.
I'll let the readers decide.

I forgot that Luke was not one of the 12.
But you've ruined the context of verses, and drawn conclusions. This tells me that you do not understand anything in Scripture and have to make leaps and bounds to discredit an apostle.
-
do you understand anything in scripture? the foundation of the gospel can only be from the twelve apostles mark is johns sir name its in acts? matt 10:2-4 has the list of apostles it is in mark also luke isnt in there. luke is not the only author of acts

If The Acts of the Apostles was written by Luke, "one of the twelve", then we have "one of the twelve" acknowledging the apostleship of Paul, albeit, not "one of the twelve". It is clear by his language that he is a physician, and he is with Paul. Col 4:14.
John was taken to "the Lord's Day" (1:10). The church @ Ephesus would have no need to "try them which say they are apostles", if it only referred to the twelve, since the twelve have been long since dead.
-
In John 13:16, "he that is sent" (Gr. apostolos) is not associated with the twelve.
Also, in Acts 14:4, 14, other "apostles" are mentioned, including Paul and Barnabas.
-
Rev 21:14 tells us that "the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb" are in the "twelve foundations" of "the wall of the city".
It does not read, "There were no other people sent out (apostle) by Christ".
-
rev 21:14 there are only twelve and can only ever be twelve
-
Furthermore, you have only shown where Paul is not "one of the twelve". Paul himself asserts this in some of those verses you referenced.
But then you make the leap from "not one of the twelve", to "false".
"Apostle" simply means "to set apart (for Christ)", or "a commissioner of Christ". In many of the verses you reference, that assertion is made, but you conveniently leave them out.
That is why I am making sure that the full information is expounded, and the meaning maintained.
I just love the calm, sober, logically straight to the text way of presenting the truth that is written down! PEOPLE, FOLKS! HARKEN ON TO SUCH TEACHERS AND TO THE TRUTH AND ELEMENTS OF TRUTH THAT GOD HAS WRITTEN DOWN IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES! DEVELOP A SYSTEMATIC THINKING IN THESE TIMES OF (MASS-)CONFUSION!
