“Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.” — Acts 1:21-22

is talking about replacing a DISCIPLE . . .

Personally, I think they erred and that Christ had chosen Paul. However, even then, they were already getting legalistic.

If you wish to ignore all Holy Spirit did through Paul IN ADDITION to Christ’s special commissioning of him and his conditioning in the wilderness . . . help yourself.

Doesn’t make sense to me.

Quix, Matthias was already a disciple. Quix how you can state that I have ignored what Paul did, you haven't read all of my responses....at no time did I denigrate that Paul was sent to the gentiles....nor did I say that the debate on Paul being an apostle took away from his teachings, I just want to know how and why he took the name himself.

Don't put words in my mouth I have not stated..If you misread what I wrote, I also can get a little scarcastic like you and say "help yourself"
