Matthias was chosen by the Apostles.

Before they had the indwelling Holy Spirit.. that was a decision of the flesh not God..

There is never another mention of Matthias again in the NT.. instead we have a NT that is filled with the writings of the man GOD chose as an apostle..

The scripture you quote (acts 6) was one where the new church was seeking to quiet a complaint by the greek believers that there was a favoritism in the distribution of goods to the elderly and needy. This is not about selecting PASTORS but deacons

Thanks, RnMomof7. Your knowledge of the Scriptures is most helpful.

Are you saying that Scriptures show that the appointing of an Apostle is incorrect? What about doubting Thomas? He disappears, right? However, it turns out that he evangelized much of the east coast of India? Should we dismiss him because he does not appear in the Bible after the Gospels?

I thought that I quoted a whole lot more than Acts 6. And it was about priests, not just deacons.
