Jesus said “You are all brothers and sisters”, and Paul said “You are all parts of one body”. When Jesus said “Not so among you”, he wasn’t telling us to clean and polish worldly chains of command, but to discard them. And the word “apostle” has been given meanings never intended in scripture. It simply means “sent out”, and the key factor is not the one sent but the Sender. Authority was held by those sent from Jesus directly; this is why they could write scripture. No other apostles had such authority, and it is not needed. We have “the teachings of the Apostles” in the NT; we have the Holy Spirit. Let us stop talking about power and authority and just serve. http://books.fether.net/index.php?theBook=NIC
