“ALL believers are priests after the resurrection of Christ.

Then why did Jesus choose disciples?

>> Then why did Jesus choose disciples?<<

He knew He wasn’t going to be here so needed them to learn from Him and teach others.

The term "disciple" is derived from the Koine Greek word mathetes (a learner, pupil, disciple). He chose those twelve to be the initial “pupils” of what He taught. Then He made them Apostles.

Apostle or the Greek word Apostolos simply means a delegate, messenger, one sent forth

So you see, the RCC is once again lying to it’s followers in that we all are disciples and all of us are to be apostles because we are sent forth to spread the word and be a messenger for Christ.

Followers of the RCC need to understand that the RCC has deceived them.
