Pilgrim,

Thanks, I will ponder what you posted. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif" alt="" />

This is from a monthly publication I received 3 years ago and it has stuck with me ever since. Though I cannot be dogmatic about it as of today I lean toward the minority view that Paul was God's choice to replace Judas Iscariot.

Issue 1 – August/2005 – Was Matthias God’s Choice? – Acts 1:15-26 <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/read.gif" alt="" />

The author Dr. J. D. Watson likes to use the original languages in his articles. I think you might find him interesting.

Anyone else care to express their opinion?


Have a good Lord's day,
William

I think not. Paul was God's choice.

[quote]Some reasons why Matthias was not God’s Choice:

Jesus told His disciples to wait. Luke 24:49

Lord did not tell His disciples to replace Judas.

The disciples never chose disciples before this.

The Holy Spirit had not yet come upon them.
