Neither of these have anything to do with the topic.
Do you believe Matthew 23:9 was a generalization? Obviously you do. So, what else do you not believe that the Bible says? Maybe matthew 16:16 is a generalization.
Well good, then call Joe Biden "Father".Isa 22 the prime minister under the king having the keys of the kingdom is called father
Matt 16:18 keys to Peter
That makes no sense. If you don't believe the Bible means what it says just say so.it’s not absolute or all those examples o gave you would not be in scripture
Yep, I agree.. The whole family is named Jesus. And I even got a verse that says he is the everlasting Father. One of the many reasons why I dont subscribe to the Trinity theory.Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That has nothing to do with the topic. Its also false.You probably also have a problem with repeating the same prayer three times?
The first beast of Revelation 13 appeared as a leopard. This is a graphic depiction of a Grecian philosophy dominating the minds of those belonging to the beast... The Papacy. While Rome dominated the European world politically, those subject to that political power and those who inherited it, the Papacy, still had Greek philosophical mindsets, which manifested itself in the early years of the Papacy with Origen's and Clement's allegorical methods of biblical interpretation... Which means you can present any scripture and make it to mean anything. Regardless of the context. You, BoL, are a master at this dark art. And you have demonstrated your skills most ably in the above post. Well done. The perfect demonstration of classical Catholic Greek philosophical underpinnings of scriptural "infallibility". Make scripture mean whatever you want, denigrate all others as intellectually inferior, magnify yourself as morally and intellectually superior, use coercion and bullying to bring everyone else under the same false umbrella, and voila.... Catholic"truth".- GOD said, “Honor your FATHER and your mother (Exod. 20:12).
- Jesus said, “Your FATHER Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” (John 8:56).
- Stephen refers to "our FATHER Abraham," (Acts 7:2).
- Paul speaks of "our FATHER Isaac” (Romans 9:10).
- Paul writes, "For I became your FATHER in Christ Jesus through the gospel" (1 Cor. 4:14–15).
- Paul said, "For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle . . . a TEACHER of the Gentiles in faith and truth" (1 Tim. 2:7).
- Once again, Paul writes, "For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and TEACHER" (2 Tim. 1:11).
- Paul emphatically states, "God has appointed in the church first Apostles, second prophets, third TEACHERS" (1 Cor. 12:28).
The asinine anti-Catholic argument that says we are "forbidden" to call men "Father" or "Teacher" is SQUASHED by the Word of God.
Game.
Set.
MATCH . . .

So that verse gives you the right to call a priest "Father"? Heck... Then I am one too!
Stoopid!
That has nothing to do with the topic. Its also false.
That he did WHAT through the Gospel?? That he became his FATHER through the Gospel?No. You only say that when you THINK it supports your stance. By the way, you dodged the queston I asked you... I suspect tou will continue that trend.
Really? Where? Where does Paul use that word? I'm looking on Biblehub.com and I don't see it! I see ἐγέννησα.... That means begotten. It means to begat or bring forth... Just like I said it did! It does NOT mean father!
Furthermore, you ignore the hard FACT that he did it through Christ and the Gospel.
This, coming from a person who has bathed in the Scriptural and historical perversions of your false prophetess, Ellen G. White.The first beast of Revelation 13 appeared as a leopard. This is a graphic depiction of a Grecian philosophy dominating the minds of those belonging to the beast... The Papacy. While Rome dominated the European world politically, those subject to that political power and those who inherited it, the Papacy, still had Greek philosophical mindsets, which manifested itself in the early years of the Papacy with Origen's and Clement's allegorical methods of biblical interpretation...

But thats not what the verse says.That he did WHAT through the Gospel?? That he became his FATHER through the Gospel?
That's my point.
It's not my "biases" you would worry about - but the Scriptural and historical perversions of your false prophetess and founder, Ellen G. White . . .Your biases don't refute or alter anything I said.
