bishop & deacon literally pertain to ones appointed to specific tasks and the others as errand boys. Using the LXXC,

the 1st appearance the word translated as bishop in English is Numbers 14

16 And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest[episkopos] pertaineth the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily meat offering, and the anointing oil, and the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuary, and in the vessels thereof

the 1st appearance of the word translated as deacon[diakonos] in English is only found in the book of Esther [διακονοι (3) Est_2:2, Est_6:3, Est_6:5 διακονοις (1) Est_1:10] and they all pertain to the king's servants

OK. Deacons do reflect servants.

So were the Apostles.

Point I was trying to make without offending anyone is that scripture states none of the nonsense being discussed.
