THE QUESTION
WAS:
Everyone knows
that Peters successor was the second pope (second bishop of Rome), but who
became the apostle Judas Iscariots replacement?
A.
Matthias
B.
Judas, Jr.
C.
Elijah
THE
ANSWER IS
. A
Matthias (Acts 1:15)
For the Bible
says, For
it is written in the Book
of Psalms: 'Let his encampment become desolate, and may no
one dwell in it.' And: 'May another take his office.'
Therefore,
it is necessary that one of the men who accompanied us the whole time the Lord
Jesus came and went among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day
on which he was taken up from us, become with us a witness to his
resurrection."
So they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who
was also known as Justus, and Matthias.
Then
they prayed, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of
these two you have chosen
to take the place in this apostolic ministry from
which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
Then they gave lots to them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was counted
with the eleven apostles.
