Why would Paul be elected? He was alive, then, at age 38, and he approved of Stephen's stoning. It wasn't until 4 years AFTER the death of Stephen that Saul was on the road to Damascus, and Jesus knocked him off his donkey.
That old chestnut.What's the point? Paul wrote 100% more than Jesus wrote...
Why do you use so many words? And it was not God who made the mistake it was PETER!!! PETER!!! PETER!!! BLOODY PETER!!!!Interesting approach to someone obviously sharing at least some of the opinion apparently wanting to be shared here. Well, at least there is disrespect shown for many different Christian faiths, not just Catholics. There is that, not sure how it helps the suggestion that God made a huge mistake selecting men morally inferior to and less resolute in their faith in God than oneself.
Is there a rule about how threads end here?Could we just say that you've presented your case and they've presented theirs so that now it's in the hands of all readers to decide who has made the more convincing presentation??
It's been that way every day since day one.Even at the time of Antony of the Dessert. IT seems the Church gets lax when the world creeps in. It was so even in the mid-3rd century.
I have tried and until it got very offensive ignored the anti-Cahtolic jabs that have been present since the OP, the only answer given to any question has been "well it reads that way to me". Am willing to repeat it, but doubtful it will be answered as the same and similar questions were ignored repeatedly.I'm sorry but I can't keep having the same conversation. You're posts are a bit 'rambly'. Perhaps make two or three short questions and we'll go from there.
Genuflect when you say that name, scoffer!Why do you use so many words? And it was not God who made the mistake it was PETER!!! PETER!!! PETER!!! BLOODY PETER!!!!
We all make mistakes, just like Peter with his lot casting business.Patients are what doctors have. Patience is what God has called all of us to have.
Well what's your position? Where is the line drawn for you? Are there apostles today? Are you one? Am I?
Sounds like victim mentality. Give it to the Lord.But if I say to you that you are the one who needs time on the couch, or similar such nonsense, I get a warning. Why?
Just glad I could help
Oh yeah, I'm getting as bad as you. Least you had a short post this timeDude, you brought up Catholics in your first statement in the OP!!!!
" The casting of lots is OT and is not for the Church because it is a man made system that is open to corruption and is the problem at the centre of the Catholic Church."

Why would praying about a decision where either outcome is looked as equally good and then allowing a contingency play out to make the choice be necessarily morally wrong?
WE need a shocked iconGenuflect when you say that name, scoffer!
(Still campaigning to get anti-Otto posts catagorized as a punishable offence)
The casting of lots is OT and is not for the Church. If they had of waited on God as they were instructed by Jesus to do, then after the day of Pentecost Paul would have been added to their number. This failure to wait on God and not act in ones own power is probably the most basic and commonly made errors all Christians make.
2 Peter 3:3Genuflect when you say that name, scoffer!

thanks for the heads up.To answer the last question, you are NOT an apostle!
That told me.Just because you were right in ONE thing doesn't make you an apostle, or even a disciple. You obviously have your mind made up about everything, except your own sinfulness.
thanks for the heads up.
