AnswerThere is no clarity on this. Paul called himself an apostle, but Acts of the Apostles seems reluctant to use this term about Paul. Acts suggests that the twelve disciples became apostles at the Pentacost. The word comes from Greek, to mean a messenger.

What is an Apostle's job?

It is an uniquely, ecclesiastical role historically held by very few. The term means 'one sent' by Jesus for a particular purpose - to deliver the news of the Coming Kingdom of God. An Apostle was a special envoy or messenger of the gospel (Good News) from God (Luke 11:49; Revelation 18:20) - the original 12 plus Paul directly. Jesus was also called an Apostle in Hebrews 3:1.


Where does the term 'old wives tale' come from?

What is the literal English translation of the word Apostle?

The actual meaning of the word 'apostle' is 'a messenger' or 'one who goes out'. That is why the 12 followers of Jesus were first called 'disciples' (from the Latin 'discipulos' meaning 'follower') but were called, along with Paul, 'apostles' after the resurrection and ascension as they went out to proclaim the news about Jesus.The above response is not totally correct. The Greek word that "apostle" is translated from is apostolos which does indeed mean "one who is sent". That part of the above answer is correct. However, there is NO linguistic connection between the term "disciple" and the term "apostle". The responder above is misinformed concerning that. The word "disciple". as far as the Bible is concerned, does NOT come from the Latin. The original New Testament language is Koine Greek, NOT Latin. The word in the Bible translated "disciple" comes from the Greek word matheteswhich literally means "learner". NOT follower.


Did Paul write the Pauline and Non Pauline Epistles?

A:The term 'Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were actually written by the apostle Paul. The term 'non-Pauline epistles' is applied to those epistles that scholars generally agree were not actually written by the apostle Paul, although the authors wrote in his name. Another term for 'non-Pauline epistles' is 'pseudo-Pauline epistles'.The epistles almost universally regarded as having been written by Paul are: Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and1 Thessalonians. The following epistles are regarded by the majority of scholars as non-Pauline: Ephesians, Colossians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.


What is the understanding of what it means to be Christian?

To be a disciple of Christ - Christian - one should do what the term disciple means - imitate Him. This is what the Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul told us:1 Corinthians 11:1New King James Version (NKJV)11 Imitate me, just as I also imitateChrist.


What is the job of an aposle?

The word 'Apostle' comes from the Greek meaning 'one who is sent out'. The term 'Apostle' normally refers to the 12 closest followers of Jesus, but strictly speaking an apostle is anyone who goes out to preach the good news of Jesus Christ's salvation. That is why even Paul (who was not one of the original '12') still called himself an apostle - although he called himself the 'least of the apostles' because he once persecuted the church before being converted to Christianity after encountering the risen Christ on the Road to Damascus. So, in a sense, anyone who goes out ior is sent out into the streets, the pubs, the workplace, or anywhere in the world and proclaims either by words or deeds the love of Christ can be called an Apostle - one who is 'sent out'.
