They were chosen by Christ himself in an immediate way, not through the instrumentality of others. Tell that to Matthias.

Tell that to MatthiasInteresting you should mention Matthias. The Apostles picked him to replace Judas. After he was picked, he was never mentioned again. God picked Paul to replace Judas. There is no comparison between Matthias and Paul.
Only God picked apostles. Men do not pick Apostles.
So how does Matthias prove succession?

Tell that to Matthias.
my thoughts exactly. Of course, notice the response you received in #15.
Since it is already an axiom that there could be no Succession, the Apostles sinned. And the sin was that they offended 21st century amateur scholars. Unbelievable.

Tell that to Matthias. Men selected Mathias and he disappeared. Jesus selected Paul and through him God gave us a great deal of the New Testament.
