Somebody else brought this up but I lost the name. Anyhow, I am not so
sure that this was the right tning to do. Paul was selected to be an
apostle by Jesus and so were all the others besides Matthias. I have
seen it suggested that the Apostiles were trying to help God and He did
not need any help.
