Why did you avoid my question? The question was:
Please show from scripture where Judas was excluded from the last supper?
They ate the passover then Judas left then they did the bread and wine of the covenant.
Matt 26, Mark 14:21; John 13:27-30
:Now for the next question. Why did our Lord finally appoint Paul as the 12th apostle? You said:
:Because Judas died unfaithfully. They needed 12 foundation stones for the temple as Revelation says.
:But Revelation was not written yet was it? And if they needed 12 foundation stones as you say then no one else qualifies do they? 12 is the limit?
Irrelevant. The principle was still there.
:But if it is not the limit
then what difference would it make if there were only 11 or even 10 apostles? A temple can be built with even fewer foundation stones. You did not answer this
question either.
I don't have to answer it. The bible does. Revelation says that 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
