You don’t know me and you don’t know what God has called me to do in HIS Kingdom.

Ah, considering your username and the content of your posts, it's a bit presumptuous to say that, isn't it?

But maybe you might like to shed some more light on that issue, since it appears that you seem to feel that readers are a bit dull of perception.

I'm listening, Captain--I esteem God's Word, too, and strive to observe and obey it. Here is one part that helps form my take on His doctrine for the calling of humans to be in His employ, the Holy Ghost writing through Paul:

"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness
and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity
and holiness with sobriety.
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour,
given to hospitality, apt to teach; . . ." (1 Tim. 2:8-3:2 AV).

Is this something that you agree with in formulating your understanding of God's calling for men and women to serve in His Kingdom?
