Harold....... there are a lot of people who abuse their authority both in the secular and religious realm.
While The apostles and disciples were HUMAN and struggled w/problems, fear, sickness, persecutions, betrayals, temptations, and simply made mistakes, they
WERE Anointed by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel and disciple people. Their authority came from being in the Presence of God.
The apostles including Paul
may not have always operated under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit but I am more than sure they did more often than not. They
were Anointed Harold.
The Anointing/Presence of God is available to all who Love and Abide in Christ. But religion has deceived people to think only a "chosen/called" group are 'anointed'.
P.S. Are you angry at the Lord ? Just wondering
