What is the opposite of APOSTLE?

Answer: Apostate

Definitions:

• 'Apostle': a devoted follower, messenger, or active proponent of a religion or cause.

• 'Apostate': a person who abandons or renounces a religious or political belief.

Why this is the opposite: An apostle actively supports and promotes a faith, while an apostate has rejected or abandoned that faith; therefore they represent opposite positions with respect to belief and commitment.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

• Appropriate: means suitable or fitting, not related to being a follower or renouncer of belief.

• Corrupted: means morally degraded or altered dishonestly; it does not mean someone who abandons a faith.

• Evasive: means tending to avoid commitment or direct answers; it is unrelated to the follower/renouncer distinction.
