	@milgita (archived comment): I did learn an apostles song, but Thaddeus wasn't in it. I think he's the one I learned as Jude.

	Think I got my epistles and apostles mixed up!

	It's true that scholars would argue for Paul as an Apostle (as he does himself in his Epistles) but the quiz called for the 12 and that always refers to those who followed Jesus during his PUBLIC ministry, something Paul did not do.

	If only we could have a rating of 12 :/

	Amazed that I got them. We had this question in College Bowl and screwed it up massively. Of course, we didn't have any choices!

	Given that Paul wasn't around when Jesus was, he's obviously not going to be one of the twelve. When I was a kid though, I was taught that there were two apostles called Judas - hence why we always said Judas Iscariot, to differentiate. I'm not sure there's even a definitive list of them anywhere

	ChileNoseJam:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 11:29 GMT		15 points
	@AlexMagd: yes, the other was Judas Thaddeus, sometimes known as Jude. And yes, there is a definitive list: Matthew 10 v2-4 "These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him." Also in Mark 3 v16-19 "These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means 'sons of thunder'), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him."

	...Judas Iscariot, Jesus and that's the lot. Anyone else learn that song at school?!

	KerrieBee23:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 13:29 GMT		2 points
	There was a Simon and a Simon Peter?

	mccabebabe:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 14:38 GMT		2 points
	there are two James? (I'm just asking, I don't know)

	Meltha:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 14:41 GMT		3 points
	@mccabebabe Yes, James the Greater and James the Lesser (which someone once told me referred to their height).

	M_C_HAMEL:	Jun 10th, 2012 at 15:49 GMT		9 points
	@pandamoose: Matthias was chosen to replace Judas. It's in Acts 1:26. Paul is considered an apostle by biblical scholars for his vision of Jesus on the road to Damascus and the intense amount of missionary activity that he performed.

	k, Thanks Meltha! That really had me confused :)

	Mathias, as mentioned before, was the Apostle that replaced Judas after he offed himself. And yes, James the Greater and James the Lesser were both Apostles.

	Ugh, I forgot there was both Simon and Peter. I only vaguely remember the song.

	It's just a shame that Andrew's relationship with Yoko broke them up...

	dmhyatt:	Jun 11th, 2012 at 14:24 GMT		3 points
	This quiz asks for Apostles but then the right answers are for the Disciples. The difference is that the disciples are the ones that were there PRIOR to his death. The apostles are the ones that were then charged with continuing his ministry AFTER his death. So, Judas was never an Apostle but was a Disciple.

	NightOwl:	Jun 11th, 2012 at 15:15 GMT		1 point
	@dmhyatt: That's a very interesting distinction that I have never come across before, but it does make sense. If I recall correctly, the Greek "apostolos" means "one who is sent," which justifies Paul referring to himself as an apostle or Mary Magdelene being called "Apostle to the Apostles" since Jesus sent her to his disciples to tell them of the Resurrection, so that supports your premise. On the other hand, most people, rightly or wrongly, use the terms apostle and disciple pretty much interchangeably.
