Again with the
formatting . . .
If
formatting is this
offensive to you - I suggest you find some
other place than a
discussion forum to spend your spare time.
As for all
Christians being
"equal" - we
are.
HOWEVER- 1 Cor 12:27-31 lays out the fact that our
roles within the Body are
NOT.
1 Thess. 5:12 and
1 Tim. 5:17 are
further examples of this
Biblical truth. You should
KNOW this if you
claim to know the Word of God . . .
As to the verses that I presented to you that use the word
"Father" -
NOT all of them are speaking of
"descendants" as
YOU claim. Paul calls himself a
"FATHER" to the Corinthians
(1 Cor. 4:14–15). As I showed your
fellow anti-Catholic
@Stranger, who also
ignored the verses I presented - here are some
MORE examples:
“I was a FATHER to the poor, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know” (Job 29:16)
Elisha cried out, “My FATHER, my FATHER!” to Elijah as he was carried up to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kgs. 2:12)
Elisha himself is called a FATHER by the king of Israel (2 Kgs. 6:21).
Paul wrote to Timothy, “You then, MY SON, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:1).
Paul again talks about his being a “FATHER” to Timothy - “But Timothy’s worth you know, how as a son with a FATHER he has served with me in the gospel” (Phil. 2:22).
Paul wrote, “I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose FATHER I have become in my imprisonment” (Philem. 10).
Tour
last comment in
RED is simply another
dodge.
Finally - as to my being
"arrogant and rude" - it's
ONLY because you tried to
bully a Catholic who
won't sit there and take it like you're
used to . . .
