Im sure there are more qualified here than me. imo the prophets are OT and spoke of Jesus as in Jere 31:3119 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; (Ephesians 2:19-20 KJV)
One guy was seriously arguing that apostles and prophets are the local church but I strongly believe this scripture is not talking about local churches' apostles and prophets and their teaching and doctrines, protocols, etc, etc.
I have understood that 'apostles' is referred to new testament which is the reality and 'prophets' is referred to old testament which is the shadow and having Jesus Christ Himself the chief corner stone which is our primary belief - we are saved by grace through faith and anything built on our primary faith and then on the foundation of the New testament first and the old testament later.
Can any one counter me on this?
the apostles were hand picked by Jesus and only taught Jesus nothing of their self.
