That sounds like a prideful (aka non-humble) statement to me. "Oh I'm too high and mighty to be bothered with that showboat nonsense."BiggAndyy said:
Just how I read it.
Raeneske, I forgot to mention if it wasn't included I wasn't really talking to you, but however you are free to respond however you feel. If more people remembered their servant status, then we would be a lot better off as a people.

As opposed to naming my own calling, I prefer to be open to His call no matter what it is, so like the others I would have to say servant.
I do not believe the role of apostle is still open, I do not hold to JW theology so the 144,000 role does not apply. I am uncertain what the watchman role is and if it is even biblical, but if I could be one of the two witnesses that would be Awesome!

Call it what you like but I'm sitting next to Andy, and that would be the least or most humble place.
Why? because that's what were told to do.
Proverbs 25
6 Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king,
And do not stand in the place of the great;
7 For it is better that he say to you,
“Come up here,”
Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
Whom your eyes have seen.
Luke 14
7 So He told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them: 8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him; 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you. 11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
I forgot to mention, "praise come from another mans mouth and not your own".

Of course it's pride for I boast in the Lord rather than myself or my imagined "calling" to be an apostle or priest or king.IAmAWitness said:
Who said we are required to to have a "Calling" .... ?IAmAWitness said:
The new testament teaches us to be believers and then we have everything.
They're not imagined.BiggAndyy said:
Who said that? I didn't say that. Can't you read?Arnie Manitoba said:
As the question is worded, it's saying if you have been called to a particular office of ministry, what office is that and if you have not been called then obviously this question does not apply.
My Calling is to be a regular guy I believe. I want to Drive through the hood and make some friends. wait, I want?? That's where I went wrong.
My Calling really Shouldnt be anything too big..Life is just too simple for that
I have been a watcher for like 3 years now It Sucks!

What you need to understand is that not everyone who has a disagreement with you is "upset" with you, and neither am I. I am not emotionally invested with your low reading comprehension so I have no reason to be mad and you have no power to make me upset. Maybe try to read first rather than try to intuit the emotions of someone you have never met.Arnie Manitoba said:
Thank you Alan for this wise word. You make a very good point.Alanforchrist said:
according to the word we are each a priest and king. some lean more towards one side then another but all are called to be priests and kings. according to the word we are all called into the ministry in one form or another because it is told us this in the great commission. but some are called into ministry full time.BiggAndyy said:
the word teaches us that we all have a calling. the nt testament teaches us what our rights are in Christ but we are not given anything without obeying the conditions that apply for each promise.Arnie Manitoba said:
