Subject: who was judus repacement as an apostal |
Bible Note: Doc, Then I guess the Scripture was not fulfilled, to which Peter referred and that therefore that passage of Acts is not inerrant. In fact and in Scripture, the casting of lots was a venerated method of discerning God's will (Leviticus 16:17-10; Proverbs 16:33)and for assigning certain duties of Levitical priests serving in the Temple (1 Chronicles 24:31; Luke 1:8). But hey, what do I know, I just read it in the Bible. As for Paul: Barnabus was an apostle too, set aside by God and sent for the same task as Paul at the same time (Acts 13:2-3). So not all apostles were counted among the Twelve and if Paul and Barnabus were there would be thirteen. A bookie (the Scriptural kind of course) would be happy to take your bet and prosper. ;-) Emmaus |
