these men were true followers of Jesus. and scriptures shows what they taught was what Jesus and his Father allowed. his true teachings hasn't ceased, though MANY believe it has. and because of pride, arrogance and selfishness, people want to believe what they want. and would find any reason to even disbelieve the scriptures.
