why call a man a father

Are you ignoring the verse

or a holy father in the case of the pope

Matthew 23:9

**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. ```

Says AND call none your father

And on Matthew 23:8

**Matthew 23:8 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<8> But be not you called Rabbi. For one is your master; and all you are brethren. ```

It says call none your rabbi

yeah

Rabbi is just another word for teacher

Matthew 23:8 KJv

**Matthew 23:8 - King James Version (KJV)**

```Dust


<8> But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. ```

So why would the Bible say not to call anyone your teacher when Christ appointed teachers

When you're so buff you punch your arms to make them bigger

uhhhh

Lol it’s because Christ was being hyperbolic

oh really

You’re literally misinterpreting the word to make people think that priests are bad

Is this the guy who thinks Catholics aren't Christian?

not what I'm saying

@Ideology yes he is

i'm saying you shouldn't call them Father nor confess your sins to them

This guy is saying that calling any man a teacher on earth is a sin

@gopher why do you only say father

Why do you ignore the entire rest of Matthew 23

hii

And zero in on father

@Lil Woodie hi

wassup

im new here

23:9 only makes sense in context with 23:8 and the rest of Matthew 23

<:ree:356316447548375070>

So why do you ignore the verse about teachers and only pay attention to the verse about father

It’s because you are just being misleading

I think I should go..

nope

because no man can be your master

just like no man can be your Father

Christ is both master and father
