Correct Answer: D) Mathias E. Silas

Explanation

This question is asking about who replaced Judas as one of the Apostles of Christ. After Judas betrayed Jesus and died, the remaining 11 Apostles decided to replace him. The options are A) Barnabas, B) Barsabas, C) Matthew, and D) Mathias E. Silas. The correct answer is D) Mathias E. Silas.

Mathias E. Silas was chosen to replace Judas as one of the Apostles of Christ. This event is recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament. After Judas died, the remaining Apostles decided to select a new Apostle to take his place. They narrowed down the candidates to two men: Mathias and Barsabas. They prayed for guidance, and then cast lots to determine who would become the new Apostle. The lot fell to Mathias, and he was then considered to be one of the 12 Apostles.

It is important to note that although Barnabas was an important figure in the early Christian Church, he was not one of the 12 Apostles. Similarly, Matthew was already one of the 12 Apostles, so he could not have replaced Judas. Barsabas was one of the two candidates considered to replace Judas, but he was not ultimately chosen.

In summary, Mathias E. Silas was the person who replaced Judas as one of the Apostles of Christ. This event is recorded in the book of Acts in the New Testament.
