Which of the Apostles are you most like ...?

I think I identify the most with James who wrote the letter James in the bible. It is supposedly attributed to James the brother of Jesus but no one really knows for sure. He addresses the same issues that rile me within Christendom and he attacks them with the same pion and ferver that I feel about them, his views on the rich, falling away, those who are pretending to be Christians. Christians back then were being too accepting of certain things and he wanted to address these things. They were hearing the same prosperity message we are hearing today and he wanted to counter that with the truth that we must carry the cross of Christ, he was seeing false Christians preaching heresies and wanted to warn the Christians about them and explained that when they fall away, they cannot repent again. But I try to take a little of each of the apostles with me as I walk because they were all great men of God.
