Scripture doesn’t say if they recieved answer form God. They appear to have thought they received an answer by casting lots. What other evidence do you offer. I say the numerical structure of scripture is evidence.
Revelation also lists just 12 tribes. Two tribes are mising. There is no list of the apostles but two are missing.

Do a google quicky on Michael Rood. The poster is a devotee of that false prophet and the twisted use of scriptures.
