Oh the joy of people that like to take the bible out of context and only use part of a verse.
Matthew 23:9 reads:
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father who is in heaven.
To really have the statement make sense read the entire chapter.

It is so sad the both sides “christians” and Atheist alike butcher the Bible trying to make it say things it simply does not.
But I guess people get so focused on trying to prove their point, reality is irrelevant. Tis so sad.
Which is why I always remind people:
Never confuse the practices of the people with the church,
Never confuse the practices of the church with religion,
And Never Ever confuse the practices of religion with God.
May Our Creator bless and watch over you and your family.

he didn't have father...Mar yam, his mum, was virgin.
god made Maryam pregnant. but as a miracle. God is not Jessi's father.

I am a Muslim and we also believe that Jesus didn't have a man as a father....but a bit different from Christians...relay we believe that he didn't have father.we believe that God doesn't have son.
"The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'
"He will speak to the people from the crib, as well as an adult; he will be one of the righteous."
She said, "My Lord, how can I have a son, when no man has touched me?" He said, "GOD thus creates whatever He wills. To have anything done, He simply says to it, `Be,' and it is.
"
Holy Quran-Sura3-Aya (45-47)
"Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship GOD; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside GOD, GOD has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers"
Holy Quran-Sura5-Aya (72)

Please remember that the Bible was not written in English. Christ was not refering to the word Father in todays term. He was trying to teach us not to consider anyone to be greater than God. Using the term Father is fine. Even the Bible refers to Father Abraham.

He was not talking of your parental father. He was saying to speak to God the Father directly , that no priests or religious figures care for your spiritual needs.

It appears he's talking about titles. Do not call another man father as a title. I don't believe he's referring to biological fathers.

Jesus was just a man however i do also think that maybe this part of the bible may be translated wrong and also how do people not know Jesus was talking about Joseph
