Hand me down Apostles is a mental construct..

Interesting, that's the same argument atheists use to deny the existence of God.

You cannot hand down Apostleship..

Then why did they lay hands on Paul?

God appoints Aposles they are not elected or groomed by men..

Excuse me, how did Matthias end up taking the place of Judas? Or is that part redacted in your Bible?

If Apostleship can't be handed down, I assume you believe that Original Sin can't be handed down, either.

Formality.. God already layed hands on Saul..

[ Excuse me, how did Matthias end up taking the place of Judas? Or is that part redacted in your Bible?]

Mattias was a mistake(they were young and newbies).. There should be 12 apostles God replaced Judas.. with Saul..

[ If Apostleship can't be handed down, I assume you believe that Original Sin can't be handed down, either. ]

Thats ridiculous.. and a non sequiter..
