Let us reason further. The Apostles, as was the custom, drew lots to replace Judas as it was written. This was the e custom to make a decision based on what God chooses and not men, it was not considered chance or lutk, or a gamble.
The Aposstles did this in order to fulfill what was written. Now Paul is not above those who fulfilled the Word as prophecies.
Paul may have been chosen to go out, I cannot say with all certainty, but I can say this, the only thing I have read about Paul has been from Paul and not prophesy.
I am fine believing what I have been given to understand by the Holy Spirit and the Word, but I am not moved to do so about what many say of Paul, beginning with Paul's teachings on himself.

Precious friend, apparently we are wrong for "studying prayerfully and carefully"
God's {identical?} Differences Between HIS TWO Different gospels, since you believe
in only one? Please HELP us to see HOW the following are IDENTICAL!:
Grace And Peace, Have you Prayerfully And Carefully Considered!:
Rightly Dividing God's WORD {All Scriptures Are KJB{?}} Of Truth?
"Example" of God’s leaders/numbers / Salvation/commissions in:

LORD JESUS, we pray that You Would Help our understanding, as we:
Begin:

TWELVE baptismS, TWELVE apostles who will rule in the Prophesied kingdom
With CHRIST!, on TWELVE thrones, Over the TWELVE tribes of Israel!
(Genesis_49:28; Isaiah_9:7, 32:1; Matthew_19:28; Luke_22:30; James_1:1!)

gospel of the kingdom!:

Of The Father, and Of The SON, and of The Holy Ghost: Teaching
them to Observe ALL Things Whatsoever I Have Commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen!”
(Matthew_28:19-20!)
Including: “Observe ALL things WHATSOEVER I Have COMMANDED you!”:
“Then Spake JESUS To the multitude, And To HIS disciples,
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat:
ALL therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that OBSERVE
AND DO; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not!”
(Matthew_23:1-3!)
(B2):
“And HE Said Unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature. He that believeth And is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs Shall Follow them that believe: In MY Name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover…. And they went
forth, and preached every where, The LORD Working With them, and
Confirming The Word With signs following. Amen!” (Mark_16:15-20!)
(B3):
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in
HIS Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are
witnesses of these things. And, behold, I Send The Promise of MY
Father Upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power From On High!” (Luke_24:47-49!)
(B4):
“Then Said JESUS To them again, Peace Be Unto you: As MY Father
Hath Sent ME, Even So Send I you. And When HE Had Said This, HE
Breathed On them, And Saith Unto them, Receive ye The Holy Ghost:

"Howbeit for this cause I obtained Mercy, That In me First JESUS CHRIST
Might Shew Forth ALL Longsuffering, For a Pattern to them which should
hereafter believe on HIM to life everlasting!” (1_Timothy_1:16!) ◄◄◄
God's First number, ONE, Represents:
"...One body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in One hope of
your calling; ONE Lord, One faith, ONE Baptism, ONE God and Father..."
(Ephesians_4:4-6!), "...ONE Mediator..." (1_Timothy_2:5!),
"...ONE New Man..." (Ephesians_2:15!), And:
Chosen By God:
ONE individual apostle, Paul, Both Roman and Hebrew
(Acts_9:6, 15, 13:2, 20:24, 22:1-15, 21, 25-28, 26:17-18; Philippians_3:5;
Romans_1:1, 11:13, 15:16-18; Galatians_1:15, 2:7-8; Ephesians_3:1;
1_Timothy_1:11, 2:7; 2_Timothy_1:11!), who represents:
Reconciliation, By GRACE (2_Corinthians_5:17-6:2!), of Both Jew And
Gentile, as Individuals, Into “ONE New Man!” (Ephesians_2:15-16!)
SPIRITUALLY Baptized ( And Spiritually United as
members of one another! ), BY: ONE Baptism!
(1_Corinthians_12:13 cp Ephesians_4:5, 5:30!), Into:
ONE Body, In HEAVEN!...
... [ By The DEADLY, But Amazingly Wonderful CROSS! ] Of CHRIST,
The Risen And Glorified SAVIOUR, The Only HEAD Of HIS Church!!
(1_Timothy_3:16; Ephesians_1:22, 5:23; Colossians_1:18!)
Praise HIS Precious NAME! Amen?
The Gospel Of The GRACE Of God!:
(A)
“For I [ Paul! ] delivered unto you first of all That Which I also received,
How That CHRIST Died For our sins According To The Scriptures;
And That HE Was Buried, And That HE Rose Again the third day
According To The Scriptures!” (1_Corinthians_15:3-4!)
+
"For By GRACE are ye SAVED Through faith; and that not of yourselves:
It Is The Gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast!"
( Ephesians_2:8-9! cp Most of Romans through Philemon! # )
{ GRACE {UNmerited Favor!} Found 85 Times! }
(B) And, The MYSTERY Includes The LORD’s Greater GRACE Commission! =
Ministry of RECONCILIATION!
"And all things are of God, Who Hath Reconciled us To Himself By
JESUS CHRIST, And Hath Given To us the ministry of reconciliation;
to wit, That God Was In CHRIST, Reconciling the world Unto Himself,
Not Imputing their trespasses unto them; And Hath Committed Unto us
The Word Of Reconciliation!
Now then we are ambassadors for CHRIST, as though God Did Beseech
you by us: we pray you in CHRIST’s Stead, be ye reconciled to God! For
HE Hath Made HIM To Be sin For us, WHO Knew no sin; that we might Be
Made The Righteousness Of God In HIM!
We then, as workers together with HIM, beseech you also that ye receive
not The GRACE Of God in vain! (For HE Saith, I Have Heard thee in a time
accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured [helped] thee: behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION!!)”
(2_Corinthians_5:18-6:2!) Today, simply believe The Gospel Of GRACE! {(A) above!}
(C)
The Body Of CHRIST, with "...faith that worketh by love...Fulfills All The law In That
ONE WORD: LOVE thy neighbor as thyself!" (Galatians_5:6, 14; Romans_13:8-10!)
End: God’s Salvation And Commission In HIS Revelation Of The MYSTERY!
----------------------------------------
Concluding questions for thought(s) of Precious friend(s):
(1) IF, as some believe, the Great commission is For us, today, should we
not Also obey All That CHRIST “Commanded within That commission"?
{if necessary, please review Prophecy/LAW above, ok?}
Precious friend @Gideon300 - identical, Correct?:
(2) IF, as some believe, there is only one gospel, and, that Peter AND Paul Both
preached The Exact SAME thing, then why would God "Reveal A Secret," that
"He Had Already revealed {ie: The Exact SAME thing}"? Does that make sense,
Precious friend(s)?
For a few Similarities and Many Distinctions please go here!
"...The Mystery [Secret] of CHRIST, Which in other ages was Not made known unto the
sons of men, as it is Now Revealed Unto his holy apostles and prophets By the Spirit;”
(Ephesians_3:4-5}
Again, HOW is "what was NOT made known," IDENTICAL to what was?
See Bible "study" Rules - here is #2:

needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth!”

Seems right to me. Why?
Ephesians 4:5 NLT - "There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism . . ."
We are supposed to have the same faith that Abraham had. Now, if someone can explain why we are to have the same faith as Abraham (before Christ had died on the Cross), then we'll be hitting the bullseye on what the True Gospel is.
Romans 4:12 NLT - "And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised."
Ephesians 4:5 NLT - "There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism . . ."

Well said.
John 9:39 NLT - "Then Jesus told him, "I entered this world to render judgment--to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind."
And this is the problem . . . people "feeling" and believing that they understand when in fact they may not. Hence, the "Remnant."

Paul referred to the Gospel as a Mystery. If we would take note of this and begin to investigate why it was (and still is) a Mystery, then we will come to know what it is.
Can anyone explain [why] the Gospel is a Mystery? Or, shall we spend the rest of our days simply describing something that we cannot explain? Every answer is within the Bible, but if we're to have these answers, we're going to need to have a thorough understanding of the Old Testament. And that's a problem, for few "christians" have actually read the Tanakh, let alone read it in a timeline, chronological order, let alone understand it (even if they were to read it in a storyline fashion).
We must be Enabled to understand the Word of God, and when we are, the Bible becomes extremely simple to grasp, for it simply repeats itself over and over in its Core Doctrine . . . which is Circumcision of Heart. Therefore, when a person thoroughly investigates and Understands Circumcision of Heart, the entire Bible will unfold itself before their eyes (and within their regenerated, reborn, incorruptible Heart).
