Peter chose???

Yes, Peter exercised his servant leadership delegated by the LORD Jesus Christ, and with the Comforter whom Messiah sent to him, and chose
1. when, and
2. from whom,
3. to select a new apostle to replace Judas Iscariot.
4. The text does not indicate the delegation that selected two candidates.
5. This church, was in fact, the holy catholic apostolic church and Jesus prayed for them; they obeyed him; they remained in unity and love; they had the Holy Spirit; they did it correctly.

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. 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.

The delusion of Catholic teaching is insidious and deadly.

Jesus did a POOR job then; considering what has happened to the seven CATHOLIC churches mentioned by John:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

Too bad that your First Pope went off the rails SO badly that someone had to PUBLICALLY rebuke him!

It made such an impression on Peter the HE recorded it for us ALL to read about today. --Galatians 2:11

.
And then Mathias was never heard from again, and then Yeshua, the only one that can appoint an apostle, chose Saul of Tarsus instead.

Men cannot appoint an apostle.
