[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's post shows a lot of confusion between the roles of Prophet, Apostle, and Disciple. OP concedes that Paul never called himself a prophet, only an apostle. An apostle spreads Jesus' word, as OP says. However, of these three, only the prophet speaks for God.

Most main stream Christians consider that Paul does speak for God.  We don't have any Apostles or Prophets today.  We have pastors because we have the word of God in the Bible.  Pastors guide; they don't speak for God.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostle

"An apostle, from Classical Greek ????????? (apóstolos), meaning "one who is sent away",[1] is a messenger and ambassador. The purpose of such "sending away" is to convey messages, and thus "messenger" is a common alternative translation."

Usually, a messenger speaks for the person who is sending the message. Is there some "lost in translation" going on?  IDK, but as Christians, we do believe in the inherency of the Bible, so we trust that what is in there is directly from God.[/quote]

You're not speaking for "most mainstream Christians." It's been said by others, but spreading the gospel is very different, qualitatively, from channeling God.

Thanks, a Protestant[/quote]
