Much of your musings do not make sense. Such as the reference to a "little legal bind for you I will get any more attention."
As for I Israel, since you asked,
Rom 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Rom 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

well, that was just one i ran across in my morning read in psalms--so then, we're gonna start arguing about whether Israel is blessed today, then, i guess...
A final reflection--that i was reluctant to post, but keep getting the unction on--that maybe also is not for the Rs:
I was out watering the yard yesterday, tryna bring my mom's yard back, as she has her house for sale. Well, my dad stops me, and says not to water until after sundown, as he heard somewhere that you lose up to 30% of the water to evaporation when the sun is up. So, i did what he said, put the hose away, even tho the yard was baking, and i'm in N Ft Myers, FL--meaning that 85% humidity is considered a crisp day here. Now, i'm not going to bother telling my 80 year old father that that was surely
up to 30% water loss, say like for Phoenix or somewhere else ultra-low humidity; not because i'm not right, and not because the yard is dying for lack of a twice a day watering right now, but because
he would not be able to hear me.
I don't know what God thinks of women in the ministry; but i do know that there are signs that we can look for--and R, i noticed you haven't mentioned how your attendance is lately, either.
Thorns do not bear figs, we are told, and if a ministry bears fruit, then how can we judge it? I think the word
minister has been sorely stretched to death, if it requires some certificate from whoever to be acceptable, anyway.
