You miss the fact that Yeshua denounced the idea of an assembly controlled by men. He despised that nicolaitan tyranny more than any other sin. There are no apostles on Earth today. The apostolic age ended when John completed penning the Revelation of Yeshua. There were 12 apostles, no more, no less, and the name of each will be on one of the 12 foundation stones of the New Jerusalem. There is no apostolic assembly in existence. Yeshuas assembly is a mystic, spiritual body of his remnant, the few that will find his narrow gate. Yeshua saw the very nonsense you propose and prohibited it.Here is how I interpret your response: - You object to any physical incarnation of the Church/Ecclesia on this planet.
- You don't believe there is any physical incarnation of the Church/Ecclesia on this planet that is descended from the Apostles.
- You don't believe that one of Matthias or Paul (Saul) was an apostle.
It seems to me you are an assembly of one. I think that course is fraught with peril.

Who cares how you “interpret” anything?
You are a catholic, and as such reject the entirety of the scriptures, except as they can be twisted to support pagan practices.
Yeshua left no man over his assembly. He is the head of it, and speaks to us through his Holy Spirit, not through nicolaitans.

Matthias was definitely not an apostle.
He was not appointed by Yeshua, and there is not one word of anything he did or said after the abortive attempt to make him an apostle.
