Was Paul handing over his position as Apostle to Timothy or was he teaching him to be a good evangelist? Can you demonstrate from the scriptures anywhere where this shown, that Timothy became an apostle?
What are the qualifications of an Apostle?
On a separate but related note, do you consider yourself a wise and noble person, one of Christ, a true follower?
If so, how do you know? If not, why?
