No where in the Bible does the idea of apostolic succession appear.
Just curious...why did they appoint someone to fill the place of Judas? Why is Paul’s name Saul until he recieves the laying on of hands?

Evidently you think those are related.
I suppose Apostolic Succession means whatever the Roman Rubber Dictionary declares it to mean.
Sounds to me like they found someone to help carry the load and fill in the missing slot.
Of course, Rome insists it has to do with RELIGIOUS POLITICAL POWER MONGERING in the name of Magnificent Magical Earth-Mother Mary . . . and a long list of other hogwash that would have made even the Pile-the-legalisms-on Jewish RELIGIOUS political power mongers of 2,000 years ago blush.
I'm not even going to respond to you. If your entire style of argument is merely TYPING IN ALL CAPS and adding adjectives to words, then you aren't worth my time.
