My point being about Apostles is that they were called post-sacrifice of Christ. Who discontinued the practice?

I'm not sure what you mean. You're not clear. There are still people involved in apostolic works who may carry the gospel into new territory.

However, the sacrificial system ended with Christ's sacrifice (death). This included the use of the Urim and Thummim, despite Joseph Smith's claims to the contrary.

Actually my understanding of Apostles is that they are not one in subtanse

I think you must have meant to post the above to another person. It does not pertain to our discussion.

Jesus' sacrifice ended the mosiac sacrificial system but It did not end the High Priesthood system of continuing to call Apostles.

Hebrews 5: 1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Acts 6:6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

>>>There are still people involved in apostolic works who may carry the gospel into new territory.

Unlss they are called of God by one who holds the proper authority by the laying on of hands then they are not actual Apostles. Matthias was an Apostle post sacrifical called in the correct way according to the High priesthood.
