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?
@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
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
no man has that authority
