KJV Matthew 23:9 "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
JST Matthew 23:9 "And call no one your creator upon the earth, or your heavenly Father; for one is your creator and heavenly Father, even he who is in heaven."
... especially since God said "I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham’s sake." (KJV Genesis 26:24) and said, "Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him." (KJV Isaiah 51:2)

It's interesting how nobody can answer my question of which one makes more sense? They just argue the question without giving an answer.

It is not right to add words to the Bible to fit one's theology and beliefs.

Really there is no need to change words to get the sense of scripture. One must consider the surrounding verses to grasp the context.
