"The apostles were godly men that obeyed their Lord, and avoided creating any tradition but for the following of the instructions that they wrote down in the Gospels."

That is a fascinating account, but I am not familiar with it. Since it is not Scriptural you are going to have to tell me where you learned it.

I am also curious to know how it is you believe that the Apostles taught the "Good News" between receiving their commission and the writing of the Scriptures. There were 13 Apostles(the original 11 plus St. Matthias and St. Paul). All were commanded to got forth and preach the Gospel to all nations, but we only have Scripture from five of them.

It is unlike your words, completely from scripture. Most of it is found in the Acts.

Mathias was artificially called an apostle, but appointment of apostles was strictly the job of Christ, and he appointed Paul. Mathias never fulfilled men’s hopes.

What is there to be curious about? Its all written down in the Acts and the epistles. There is nothing else to know. If there were, one of them would have recorded it. Most of the filling in was done by Luke, who must have been the world’s best listener.

A rather cocky assumption. Have you considered the possibility that some of the apostles really did go forth into all the world? That their writing may be in the eastern world? That it may yet be found?
