My friend needs help with a question about Jesus Apostles.......
by awildflower inthe other day in conversation with her husband, she was bringing out how jesus didn't start a congregation.
he said that the fact that jesus choice 12 apostles to 'take the lead' and look out after the sheep, is proof that the current elder arrangement is biblical.
she didn't know how to answer him and would like your opinions or research on the topic.. so the question is: are jesus 12 apostles proof of an elder arrangement?.

"Bearing Thorough Witness", page 115, paragraph 19
by sd-7 in"bearing thorough witness about god's kingdom", page 115, paragraph 19:.
"that peace and unity now existed in the antioch congregation was clearly evident.
rather than contending with the brothers from jerusalem, the brothers in antioch treasured the visit of judas and silas, for it was only after "they had passed some time, they were let go in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them out," that is, back to jerusalem.
