AHH wait I see what you mean....

Ok so the original apostles, had Jesus as the prophet if you like. I doubt Jesus needed counsellors given that he was Jesus.
The Disciples at that time never fulfilled the role of Board of Directors since they were involved with religion rather than religion acting as a front for a multi-billion dollar business.
Well.... they were in the industry of fishing for men... they probably learning you can tune a guitar, but you can't tunafish.... and so they stayed broke.

That’s kind of a good point, Philo Sofee, as retired carpenters, plumbers, groundskeepers, etc. should make up the 12 or 15. The groundskeeper would have more ideas as to how the front lawns could look or avoid a front lawn; many could be done with lava rock and different cactus. . . sort of like an environmental rainy day fund. The carpenter may look at temple construction and costs.

Thanks for using Latin.

That is all.

I don't believe the first century head of the church who was Peter was known as a Prophet. Prophets' and Prophetess' were part of the Hebrew Bible.
More likely James the brother of Jesus was a head of the Jerusalem assembly. The gentile assemblies were led by Paul (until they abandoned him). The Jerusalem leaders never exercised any authority over the gentile assemblies that Paul established. The Jerusalem gang eventually fizzed out, and Pauline Christianity eventually took hold in the Roman empire. The Mormon "priesthood", with it's "prophets, seers and revelators" as an ordained office and "head of the church" is pure Mormon innovation (that David Whitmer wrote was originated in the mind of Sidney Rigdon.)
The views and opinions expressed by Bill4Long could be wrong and are subject to change at any time. Viewer discretion is advised.
