Matthias

ACTS 1:26

2007-08-15 05:02:39 · answer #1 · answered by Luv&Rockets 4 · 4 0

Is Matthias actually the one who took the place of Judas? I don't think so. I believe that in His own time, the Lord Jesus Himself appointed one to take the place of Judas Iscariot.
We don't hear another word about Matthias -- nothing is recorded of his ministry. I think the Holy Spirit ignored Matthias. It is my conviction that the man the Lord chose was Paul. You may ask, "Do you have an authority for that statement?" Yes. Listen to Paul as he writes to the Galatian believers: "Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)" (Gal. 1:1). Paul is saying that he was chosen by God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. How did He do it? Through the Holy Spirit whom He had sent into the world. The ministry of Paul certainly justifies the fact that he was the one to take Judas' place. Of course I realize that the majority of good Bible commentators disagree with me, but I am just passing on to you my own conviction.

Paul, in my judgment, took the place of Judas. After the resurrection of Jesus, Matthias was chosen by the disciples to fill the place of Judas, but no information is given about Matthias except the account given in Acts 1:15-26. Matthias is never mentioned again. If the Holy Spirit had chosen him, certainly somewhere along the way He would have set His seal upon this man. Paul, however, proved he was an apostle, and Matthias did not. The election of Matthias as an apostle was held before Pentecost, which was before the Holy Spirit came into the church. For that reason I do not think that the Holy Spirit had anything to do with the selection of Matthias. There are also many elections in our churches today that are obviously not ordered by the Holy Spirit. I believe that Paul is the man whom the Spirit of God chose to take Judas' place.

A fellow named Matthias ....as recorded in Acts 1:21
"It is therefore necessary that of the men that assembled with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, starting with his baptism by John and until the day he was received up from us, one of these men should become a witness with us of his resurrection. So they put up two, Joseph called Bar′sab·bas, who was surnamed Justus, and Mat·thi′as. And they prayed and said: “You, O lord, who know the hearts of all, designate which one of these two men you have chosen, to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas deviated to go to his own place. And the lot fell upon Mat·thi′as; and he was reckoned along with the eleven apostles."

Thereafter, the apostles are again referred to as 'the 12'.

Matthias was voted in but what about the young man named Mark that made himself an apostle after witnessing Christ's death and followed Peter around writing Peter's Gospel from Peter's word. As the church grew the number of apostle and disciples grew with it.
Many saw Jesus suffer and turned to him and witnessed for him.

St. Paul did.

St. Matthias was only the "bridge disciple" between Judas Iscariot & the coming of St. Paul.

Matthias, the disciples cast lots and it
fell on him, some people think that Paul
was supposed to be. Matthias is not heard from hardly in the scripture after.

Judas betraying Jesus is a lie made up by potential of the Catholic Church. in accordance to historians no longer linked with any non secular ideals, Judas replaced into the deciple who replaced into closest to Jesus. Catholics ought to lonly be attentive to what proportion ideals the Catholic Church made up. Mary by no potential ascended into heaven the two.
