Favorite New Testament Apostle
Of the Apostles listed in the New Testament, including those that replaced the original Twelve, which ONE was your favorite and why?
Of all the apostles, I like Paul the best. The reason for this is that many times Paul would stand toe to toe with other apostles and confront them on issues. He did it with Peter and John. He wasn't one the went with the flow, he stood up for what he believed and expected the same from everyone else.
I feel that John was afforded a great gift when Jesus told him to behold Mary as his mother, and become a son to her. That dialogue from Jesus while dying has always touched me and given me a great respect for him.
