Episode notes
Apostle Means Sent One, Broad And Narrow
- 'Apostle' means 'sent one' and the New Testament uses it in overlapping ways.
- Some apostles were the Twelve, others (like Paul) are apostles because they witnessed the risen Christ.
Junia Is Likely A Commended Female Leader
- Romans 16:7's phrasing varies by translation, which causes debate about Junia's status.
- Most scholars view Junia as a woman commendably affirmed by Paul and possibly counted among apostles.
Discern Division By Motive And Doctrine
- Distinguish healthy disagreement from divisive false teaching by checking motives and fidelity to core doctrine.
- Avoid people who push personal agendas, refuse correction, and use flattery to win followers.
