And if so, who were Nee's apostles through the ages? And if he didn't delineate his apostles, then how could they be important?
I don't see how you can say "Apostles are important for the Body of Christ" and then when I say 'well who was the apostle(s) of the church in 1850 or 1950' and you shrug or dismiss the question.
A: The U.S. always needs Presidents for the functioning of the Government.
Q: Okay, then, who was President in 1850, or 1796? Who was the President in 1908, or 1918?
A: Buddy, I got all your Presidents for you. Give me a date, I can give you a President.
Ohio and ZNP and I guess Nee and Lee are moving along these lines. Apostles are needed at all times for the functioning of the Body.
Okay... and....
The RCC at least tries to answer this question. I give them credit. The Protestants really don't have a leg to stand on.
