		<description><![CDATA[The Chosen Twelve condemned/judged/ended the old era of Israel, but their teaching also built the foundation of the Global Church. But in this role, their number, nationality or gender is no longer significant. How can I say this beyond a shadow of a doubt? Because the old was gone, and the new has come. Jesus insists we don’t pour our new wine back into the old wineskins. (Matthew 9) The church is new wine, folks! Patriarchy and male-based religion based on circumcision and exclusion is an old wineskin, and we must burst those weak constraints.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kbonikowsky.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3396788&amp;post=3572&amp;subd=kbonikowsky&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Hence, there is a numerical symbolism at play.
