1. There are no apostles today, only the twelve in Jesus' day. In 1 Corinthians 12:28, Paul lists the appointments & functions in the Church. The mention of "first apostles", indicates that upon the teaching of Christ which the apostles faithfully preached, the Church is established: Jesus as the "chief cornerstone" & then comes then apostles with their teaching. Those that claim to be apostles today might be referring to their call & duties in the Church, but cannot claim biblical support for such a title as they don't meet its criteria.
2. Women do not have biblical warrant for appointment to the positions you mentioned in the Church. This is something that some Churches do for their own reasons, but not according to God's Plan.
3. There are some who claim descendancy to the Tribe of Levi, specifically to Aaron. And if so, they are given the privilege, in the synagogue, to read from the Torah. They serve the priests (Kohanim), as they did in the old days. Many have made claim to this Tribe, some false, others apparently true according to DNA testing. Those particularly who are of the Ashkenazim & Sephardim people, have shown to have a very high probability to having such connection.
Isaiah 5:2
"And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes."
OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST
The response of Jesus Christ to Paul on his way to Damascus shows clearly our oneness with Him. Oneness with Him is the result of LOVE of GOD. You can't separate a believer with Christ (LOVE), ROMANS 8: 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? WE ARE IDENTIFY WITH HIM IN ALL THINGS, Matthew 25:42For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, I was naked and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' 44And they too will reply, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? our need is His need, our pain is HIS pain... absolute identity!
Irene my email does not work so I just wanted to tell you I feel for you and will be praying for you! Hang in there and remember it is just as important that you have God on your side also just as much as all your Family! May God bless you!
So here I am reading Psalms 91 holding onto verse 1 because i know my God is so so so real I know where and what he brought me our of. I'm so grateful I could never deny his love and mercy because greater love than his no man has. I pray all would speak to him because he longs for a personal relationship with us as his children.
