"Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me." - Romans 16:7 (KJV)
They take the "of note among the apostles" to literally mean Junia WAS an apostle. They completely ignore the reference to "kinsmen"; indicating both were males but larger deceit is discovered when we examine other translations:
Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. - Romans 16:7 (ESV)
They are well known TO the apostles. We do not need to argue the gender of Junia because she or he was never an apostle. All Paul was saying was that they were well known to the apostles. Yet with great glee they change being known to actually being an apostle. They take a married couple Paul relied upon and morph the wife into somehow being the head of her household in ancient Israel! They take a servant and turn her into an pastor. Listen, this subject brings no joy but it is important to be honest about what the bible says and Eddie Hyatt is simply not.
