Don’t be so hard on them. I doubt any of us would have done any better. They turned out okay in the end. Hopefully we will too!
They were extremely falable,., to the end.. Hand me down apostles would probably be worse.. not haveing first hand experience with Jesus.. That is if even they were apostles in the first place.. Calling yourself an "apostle" don't make you one(mattias).. or even if others title you..
