“Except that no replacement Apostles procedure was commanded nor taught in Scripture.”

Peter clearly says that scripture teaches it:

“For,” said Peter, “it is written in the Book of Psalms: “’May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, “’May another take his place of leadership.’

And the word translated as “place” there is really “office”. The Greek work is really (when we think of common English usage) “bishopric” - just as it is translated in the KJV.

Bishops. Apostolic Succession.

“Peter clearly says that scripture teaches it:”

The passage was not directly about Judas. Peter used this passage, with his other knowledge of 12 thrones for 12 Apostles to replace “his office.”

All full now.

In revelation 21, there are 12 foundations, each with the name of an Apostle. All full now.
