If you could meet one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, who would it be & what would you talk about?

Question

Someday you just might meet the 12 apostles when you go to Heaven? This question is for those who are Christian and the many religions that believe in God and Jesus & the 12 apostles. No offense to the other religions.

Answer 1

Simon Peter. He was so real and I think most people could relate to him. He loved the Lord, but was also hot-tempered, hard-headed, strong-willed, and he struggled with his love for Jesus v. fear. He let the Lord down the most when he denied him 3 times. Upon His ressurection, Jesus found Him and forgave him. Jesus gave him the keys to the church. The ultimate story of salvation and forgiveness.

Answer 2

Probably Thomas. I just can't believe that he saw miracles while Jesus was alive, and then when Jesus shows up after death, the guy's like, no way! It's just very weird to think that a resurrection would throw him after all the other stuff Jesus did.

Or maybe that guy who said, "I know the right thing to do but I do the wrong thing anyway." Was that an apostle? I don't remember. Whoever wrote that part of the Bible.

Answer 3

Anyone going to heaven will certainly meet the 12 apostles because they each are the heads of the twelve thousand belonging to the 144,000 that make up the kingdom of God--remember that Matthias was chosen by casting lots--Acts 1:26.
So, Judas will not be there--he was the betrayer.
I will be glad to see Thomas, the Doubter.

Answer 4

Well it seems by the biblical account that Peter, James, and John were the closest to Jesus. So I would probably pick John. One because John had not only lived with Jesus during his earthly ministry but John is the authors of 5 books in the New Testament. If I had the chance to meet him before heaven, as your orig. question seems to suggest. I would ask John about what was life like in the footsteps of Jesus. How confused was he? I would ask him about the church and what was it like and how exciting was it? I would ask him what is it like to be a leader in the church....oh the questions i would have for him.

Answer 5

I would like to meet Peter. He seems the most human, that is he denied Jesus, Paul called him a hypocrite, and he had many other faults (sins). Yet Jesus honored him and he became a great preacher. I think many people, like me, have many of those character traits and it shows what the redeeming love of Jesus can do in a person's life.

Added: Peter also demonstrated that you don't have to be perfect to be approved by God--something that some churches falsely teach.

Answer 6

I would have to go with Peter. He had trouble understanding what Christ was doing but he was certainly after his heart and wanted to do the right thing. We all have so much of Peter in us at certain times and I think a lot of people can relate to him the best. He clearly made a lot of mistakes just as Christians do, but ultimately loved the Lord over anything. He seems like an interesting personality

Answer 7

I'd like to meet John the Beloved. I an curious as to whether or not he was a child born to Mary and Joseph after Jesus' birth. The reason I suspect he is because when Jesus' dies, he refers Mary to John the Beloved to care for her. And in Jewish tradition, that implies that Joseph was already dead and that John was in some way related, most likely the next eldest living son of Mary.

Answer 8

how many of the apostles became Jesus stated to have met after His resurrection? * Apostles? 11, the unique 12 apostles without Judas who killed himself previously Jesus' resurrection. * Discipules? Many, better than 500, right decision unknown. * in case you count number Paul, who observed Jesus resurrected years after, even as vacationing to Damascus, then 12 apostles. And did He ever meet Judas' 'substitute' (Matthias)? * Jesus meet / knew Mathias. Mathias were a disciple (no longer an apostle) because the beggining of the ministry of Jesus (starting up by John's baptism), as a lot because the time even as Jesus became taken up from them (after the resurrection). See Acts financial ruin a million:21-26: (Peter talking) : "hence it truly is critical to settle on between the boys who've been with us the entire time the Lord Jesus went out and in between us, starting up from John's baptism to the time even as Jesus became taken up from us. For this way of ought to become a witness with us of his resurrection." so that they proposed 2 men: Joseph referred to as Barsabbas (also universal as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you recognize anybody's coronary heart. educate us which of those 2 you've chosen to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to bypass the position he belongs." Then they forged lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he became further to the 11 apostles." ==== for the reason that that they had proposed Mathias then he had considered Jesus after His resurrection and also became present day even as Jesus ascended to the heavens.

Answer 9

Great question....I would have to say Peter or Paul. Both had flaws and at times fell short, but they both loved the Lord with all their heart. One minute Peter proclaimed to Jesus that he was the Son of God, the next minute Jesus is saying to him..get behind me satan.....I have a tendency of putting my foot in my mouth at times too.....

Answer 10

Judas, definately Judas. There have been so many theories as to his motivations for betraying Jesus that I would like to hear it from him and get the real story. While we were at it, I wouldn't mind knowing why he hung himself instead of asking for forgiveness.
