Or read Matthew 23:7

**Matthew 23:7 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<7> And salutations in the market place, and to be called by men, Rabbi. ```

don't skip it

jesus

this is sad

@Living The Dream 🍀 lol you are literally ignoring the whole Bible in favor of a single verse

Why are you being so disingenuous

One verse holds power

You must be trolling

how?

Okay so only one verse holds power in the Bible

i love to you

If we were to take Matthew 23:9 literally, we should not call our actual fathers "father"

**Matthew 23:9 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<9> And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. ```

why is there going to be a black spiderman

tell me how?

Matthew 23:9 is the only verse that matters, ignore all others and you go to heaven

**Matthew 23:9 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<9> And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. ```

What the fuck?

As long as I call no man father I will go to heaven?

@TradChad can you not break that down?

ha

My Bible is more than one verse.

i hate these small brained attacks against catholicism

at least give @TradChad something good to battle

sheesh

He is just a troll

probably

He literally took atheist arguments against Catholicism and is just spamming Matthew 23:9 and ignoring any greater context or meaning of the verse

**Matthew 23:9 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<9> And call none your father upon earth; for one is your father, who is in heaven. ```

And refusing any and all arguments because his little atheist blog didn’t provide one

i

I heard InfoWars is getting renamed to CoincidenceWars because everything they notice is just a coincidence

apparently the Israelites were the only people who could handle gods message or something

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] he doesn’t really I don’t think. I think it’s more a matter of Jews chosen as a “priest class” rather than a “superior class”

@Living The Dream 🍀 hello atheist

Wh y do you ignore the Bible

I bet you haven’t even read the whole of Matthew 23

Just as there is nothing wrong with using the word father metaphorically, there is nothing wrong with calling our earthly parents “father” and “mother.” In doing so we are not giving our parents an elevated title or position that belongs only to God. Our earthly parents are worthy of honor, and we are to honor our parents daily in the spirit of Exodus 20:12, Matthew 15:4, and Ephesians 6:1–3.

**Exodus 20:12 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<12> Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. ```

**Matthew 15:4 - New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)**

```Dust


<4> For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.' ```
