Yes, Judas was replaced by Matthias. And my question was why God did not replace Judas with Paul? And was it a mistake on Peter and other Apostles to Not have Paul be the substitute Apostle?
ONLY my opinion, but yes, I think it WAS a mistake. It was meant for Paul. At the time, however, Paul was still breathing out threatenings to the saints. This is just my opinion, but it might be true. 😁
Seems to me that God DID choose Paul to replace Judas.
The problem is, Peter went ahead of God in attempting to fill the slot.
When you decide on something and give God only two choices and choose lots, ONE of them is going to *win* but that does not mean it was God's choice. IMO, the mistake was going ahead without finding out the mind of God in the matter.
