It's a very controversial issue for some,there are those who claim only one is then others state they all apply today.
I believe that all the Apostles have teachings that we should take notice of but which one has the sole role to teach me how to enter the happy life eternal ?
Did Jesus pick a particular one ?
Was there agreement between all the Apostles as to who has that sole role ?
The Bible will answer that question with the verses you provide.
Any takers ?
I think not a few responders misunderstood the assignment.

All you asked was WHO was sent to YOU to teach you.
If you are a Jew, then Peter. You can read about his message to you in the early portion of The Acts of the Apostles.
If you are NOT a Jew then by definition you are a Gentile. Paul is the Apostle sent to teach them. You can read his messages in the latter portion of The Acts of the Apostles.
Finally, was there agreement?
Ans: not at first. There was such a strong disagreement that James, the LORD'S brother, held a council to settle the problem. At the end of that Council, they all came to agreement. You can also read about that in The Acts of the Apostles.

Good day and God bless.

The devils trust that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected. They were no doubt even present at those events.
""The devils trust that Jesus died, was buried and resurrected. """
The devils trust they can be forgiven, saved & HS sealed by believing & trusting in the death, burial, resurrection of Christ ?
Really, list the verses :gd

Peter, you gotta hear what is being said.
I made the statement in the hope it might inspire questions of what believing in Jesus means. It is clear that it does not mean acknowledging that he died and was resurrected because the devils believe that. So I will the direct, what does believing in Jesus mean?

The DEVILS know they can't be saved by it, only we today can be.
This is what Christ through Paul taught :-
1 Cor 15:1-4, Eph 1:13, Col 2:13
If you believe & trust in the death, burial, resurrection of Christ for the forgiveness of all your sins, you are saved, justified, HS sealed
The performance requirements are :-
Titus 3:5-7, Eph 2:8-9, Gal 2:16, Rom 3:28, Rom 4:5, Rom 5:1
...
Save you keystrokes unless you have ACTUAL verses (not self-opinions) where Paul teaches that any amount of performance/works/do's/dont's is required to be & or remain saved/justified/HS sealed..

oh no no my friend . For while its true the devils do know about this death , burial and ressurection ,
THEY KNOW they will be tormented my friend .
And that is why they will also of ten use the name of JESUS to promote another jesus .
Cause they know it is too late for them and they , as their father the devil , desires humanity to join them
in destruction .
Marvel not that one can cliam to believe , trust in JESUS and the g opsel
AND YET at most it was lip service as they used HIM to feel saved
and yet followed another sin accpting , unbelief accepting jesus . WHO IS NOT THE JESUS CHRIST OF GOD .
And thus their faith is vain null and void .
God testifies ONLY TRUTH and ONL Y ON THE SON . Never is he once been a minstir to sin and unbeleif .
And now a word . DO feel free to explain to me
WHY so many now in even in christendom seem to follow another jesus
that will NOT correct certain sins , WILL only say j udge not
and yet JUDGES and even condmens the words of TRUTH that exposes their sin .
THAT AINT JESUS friend . THAT AINT JESUS .
WHY am i seeing rainbows , why o why am i seeing the love of money , why o why am i seeing
a harlots love and a harlots CHRIST DENYING peace plan being so embraced by many t oday .
And now a w ord .
THE devil can say LOVE , HE CAN say GOD IS LOVE , but one thing i promise you HE GONNA TWIST IT
to cause unbelief ON GOD , beleif on a lie , and to lead these peoples
into the greatest hour of rebellion towards GOD , CHRIST , His saints and HIS words , His gospel .
AND boy is it growing now . Just a friendly , but abosolutely dire necessary REMINDER for us all .

Sounds good . But what if i told you that many now even in christendom can say what you just said
AND YET ALL ALONG were madly in LOVE with the love of a harlot , and have well drunk
of her cup of fornication that she calleth ecumeincalism
and her peace plan that she says be of GOD and YET HAS DENIED THE VERY GOSPEL OF GOD .
Many people , AND I WAS ONCE just like them , can cliam to BELEIVE
and yet LOVE THEIR SIN THEY DO and thus wil sit under any form of a jesus
THAT WILL ACCEPT their sins . NOT lookin good at all in chrisetndom my friend .
NOT ONLY that but more so UNBELEIF has become their king .
As even the gospel of JESUS denied by means of interreligouis intefaith dialogue of many many ANTI CHRISTS
who lead this people to the great merger of the great d elusion and unto their own perditon ON JESUS DAY .

The question we must all ask ourselves and ask ourselves WE surley MUST .
IS can man , does a man , LOVE GOD , LOVE CHRIST , if they depise TRUTH and love a lie .
AND the answer is A RESOUNDING and ear pounding HECK NO .
THEY have decieved themselves and have loved to have it so .
But if one loves NOT the words of GOD , of Christ and later of even the apostels in said bible
WELL THEN
THE LOVE OF GOD DOES NOT SHINE UPON OR WITHIN THEIR HEARTS .
FOR HAD it been the LOVE OF GOD
IT would have LOVED THE TRUTH , IT WOULD have BELEIVED GOD and thus HIS CHRIST and thus HIS WORDS .
BIBLE TIME i say and i say BIBLE TIME IT IS FOR ALL . we got wolves in wool my friend and they are many
and many now follow their pernsicous ways .

Thank you Jim,the agreement I see is those in Gal2,7_9 accepted that Paul goes to the heathen/gentiles which is me so as suspected Paul and not any other is the one that teaches me how to be saved

Exactly S7, that's also what I see and as yet no-one has been able to list where Matthew has authority over Paul to teach me how to be saved,

There are no apostles today in the sense that the New Testament uses that term. One of the qualifications for such an apostle was that he had to have seen the risen Christ. Nobody alive today has physically seen the risen Christ. Of course, some apostles wrote books of the New Testament. Those writings are for all. There is no hint in the Bible that only the epistles of Paul apply to non-Jews.
But the teachings of John, Peter, James, Paul etc apply to someone and since I am a Gentile then to me it is clear that Paul was given authority by Jesus to teach me,can you state the actual verses which show the others have that same authority

Good luck with that S7, Paul is a thorn in the side to those who believe heaven entry requires performance and to those who reject the pre-trib rapture, so what they then do is try to reduce the Christ given authority Paul has by blending the teachings of ALL the apostles into one mixing pot then pull out a mish-mash which even they can't fully understand.
Acts 9:15
Rom 11:13
Rom 15:16
Gal 2:7-9
1 Tim 2:7
Eph 3:8
2 Tim 1:11
Is CRYSTAL CLEAR as to who teaches how believers today are saved

Be VERY careful.
When someone says Paul has authority over Matthew, you are making a HUGE mistake.

Remember this from PAUL:

ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in RIGHTEOUSNESS: that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Tim 3:16-17.

It is a HUGE mistake to say ONLY Paul has authority.

For example: are you going to ignore this???>>>

Go ye therefore and teach ALL nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matt 28:19-20

Thank you GRACE,I see a lot of resistance even rejection to the teachings of Paul here and don't understand why since Jesus taught Paul and taught Paul for a particular period in time and that period is as we type

Hey S7, I'm not GRACE but do agree with their teachings.
Yes there is a LOT of resistance here to the teachings of Paul.
There are even believers that state Paul should not be in the Bible & is even an imposter who never actually met Christ.
The problem that Paul causes them is to their ego/pride.
They believe that performance 'today' is a requirement to be & or remain saved.
For that to be the case they need to 'reduce' Paul or even dismiss his teachings.

My reply was to GRACE yet I managed to drag you into it somehow,pride seems to be an issue for many a believer and not just here,face to face people have claimed to be sin free or at worst nothing overly serious.

Hey S7, I like and agree with your post on the love your neighbor thread, I've been barred from there for being too harsh.
So many claim to longer sin yet when faced with homing a homeless person in their own home they deflect in an attempt to convince others it is not a sin

Thank you Peter.
I was wondering why you were not responding on that thread.
The excuses and people reasons are everywhere as to why they don't need to help the homeless by giving them somewhere temporary to stay for example, too hard, too risky, not allowed, any excuse so that don't look like the sinner we all are.
