Many questions can arise concerning how the Church functioned in the years immediately following Christ's death and resurrection. How should decisions be made? How should leaders be appointed? Should the Church Cast Lots to make important decisions? Should we cast lots to determine God's will? What is the history
The only New Testament example of casting lots in the Bible appears to some as setting a precedent for appointing Church leadership:
". . . they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, "You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen . . . ." And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."
Some have gone as far as to surmise that this was an early example of voting or balloting to elect someone to an office. However, the biblical record does not support that claim. During the ceremonies for the Day of Atonement, the High Priest was to cast lots to determine the fate of two goats . . .
