Against the idea that Paul was Judas' replacement stands one fundamentally decisive thing.  Paul himself denies it!  In his catalogue of recipients of  resurrection appearances of Jesus in 1 Cor 15:1-9  Paul distinguishes himself quite clearly from the Twelve, and proclaims -- if only indirectly-- that he never considered himself to be one of this inner circle of which Judas had been a member. So the whole idea seems rather far fetched to me.

Yours,
