Matthew Bell The twelve apostles are listed at Matthew 10:2-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:14-16 and Acts 1:13. The claimed 'discrepencies' between names on the lists has been discussed prevously on the list and may still be available in the archives. POOBAH It is not a *claimed* discrepancy, it is a discrepancy. Fact - the lists are not the same between the various Gospels & Acts, or do you deny this? You may have a "claimed" rational harmonization, but the discrepancy exists in the texts. Even if there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the discrepancy (I'm sure that I will hear that Judas == Thaddeus, and will save my objections until I do) the point is that it is ridiculous for Mr. Carter to talk about what happened to the disciples until he tells us who they were in the first place. Nonetheless, most issues have been discussed on this list before, so it might still be enlightening to hear it again.
