Promised Evidence that the 12 Apostles were Plural

There is some interesting stuff here, as well as some old names; and of course @steve is here as ever.

The point that a man would have more children than just one wife could bear is compelling evidence of plural life. That the Apostles were not specifically mentioned as having more than one wife is itself unremarkable because poly would have been common in this time.

BINGO!

It is not mentioned because it was common.

BINGO!

Just as Jesus didnt bother to specifically point out the sin of sodomy because it was not common among the Jews who knew it was abomination. Something unremarkable doesn’t need mentioning. The rainbow people don’t consider this point.

Paul’s audience, however, was much different.

Paul had the Greeks. Lucky for him he didn't have the British.

250,000 are the ones that were reported.
Or worse, whose reports were accepted.
A guy died in handcuffs because the officers doubted his claim to having been stabbed.
