    1. Some people refer to themselves as Apostle whatever their first name is. Are there any Apostles these days?

    2. I know some women who call themselves

    Pastors, Elders, and Bishops. Is this Biblically correct?

    3. Are there any Levites these days?

    I also search this subject. I have written my own books of remembrance to honor God and preserve his presence in my own lifetime. I have survived the most UnGodly cruelty of mankind upon children, as a child who survived sex

    trafficking. As I remember God being my strength. So I believe that books are still being written. because we search for God and God comforts us and corrects us in words . As well as in our hearts and souls. Just my opinion..

    My answers to your questions, as given:

    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.
