Bible Note: Acts 1:21 "Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us-- Acts 1:22 beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection." Acts 1:23 So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias. Here is the criteria by which an apostle was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot. Paul was an exception, but then he was chosen by the Lord Himself: 1 Cor 15:8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. 1 Cor 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. And since this is a Bible study, what does it matter what our early church fathers said. (Note that I don't disown them nor devalue thier input. Just pointing out that their writings are not the Bible.) Peace, |
