Thread: In Ephesians: Paul wasn't an original apostle and met Christ after his death. So why?

does Paul identify himself as and apostle of Jesus Christ and not as an apostle of Jehovah? Why does he call the Christians in Ephesus saints?

all christians are saints but I'm not sure about the apostle thing
