did He really prohibit other people to address anyone "father", or do you think it has a deeper meaning other than prohibiting the word "father" to be used in reference to a human being?
how about calling your biological father "father", did you go against Christ's teachings because of that?
is that how petty you view your Christ?

you can start with getting a concordance and studying a little bit about the jewish culture..
in short ever wonder why they all call abraham father even if they are already the great great great great great great great grandchild of abraham, why dont they even change it to grandpa?
thats where you can start with looking for the answers.
but anyway, study the term father used in that verse and the term father used everywhere else.. you might end up being suprized at the differences between those.
goes along with getting the honorary title of being a patriarch.
anyways grace and peace.

JOHN a million:14 And the be conscious became FLESH and DWELT between US, and we beheld HIS GLORY, the appreciate as of the only begotten of the daddy complete of GRACE and certainty. ISAIAH 40 8:sixteen Come on the factor of ME, hear this: I particularly have not spoken in secret from the beginning up; From the time that it replaced into, i replaced into THERE, and now our lord god and HIS SPIRIT have despatched ME. ISAIAH 8:6 - For unto US a baby replaced into BORN, unto us a SON replaced into given; And the government would be upon HIS shoulder. And HIS call wil be called remarkable, COUNSELOR. powerful GOD,

Please tell us where you got this quote from. Include the book in the bible you got it from along with the chapter and verse. Here is an example 1 John 2:22. The reason I ask you for this is because I can not recall or find anywhere in the Bible where Jesus said such a thing. Either you made it up or are severely taking it out of context. Also please include the version of the Bible such as the King James or the International Version. If you can not or will not do this then please erase your question as it will be very obvious that you made either made this quote up or horrifically distorted it and do not want anyone to see what you are referring to there by not allowing a real debate over your question.

I agree that there is a very much deeper meaning..... Father being Lord, meaning I am, Jehovah...... When I introduce my father, dad, to some one, I have had no twinge of disobedience to the Lord..... *shrug*..... but, you have given me something to pray, study and think about...... go in peace........ God bless

The rest of the verses deal with calling one master, and rabbi. Clearly, it does not mean you can't call your daddy by the name father. But rather you are not to refer to regilious people by that title. The comparison is with religious titles.
Roman catholics ignore this command as they address their priests by the name father.
-- King James
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

I'm not familiar with that passage but my guess is that it means don't use "father" as an authoritative title for anyone but God. Thus its ok to call the man responsible for your birth father, but not a minister.

There is no problem in calling your earthly dad father, he is your earthly father. But when you go and call priests father, that is going against what the bible says. There is only one Father and that is your father in heaven.
Matthew 23
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
What does the scripture say?

It means don't call a mere mortal man God and do not worship him.

There is no such thing as GOD look up how the world started (THE BIG BANG) to think that all that stuff about adam and eve is true then ur no better than that old bum lookin guy with a grey beard and raggy clothes yelling in the street with his crazy antics. Jesus was just one of those guys a lazy ars carpenter who hatted his job thinkin he knows everything so he can get ahead in life he was sick of his job and if u look it up someone who was a virgin back in those days didnt mean they didnt have sex it meant they werent married i dont know wat everone else thinks but i know its a load of sh*t
