Why Are Christian Leaders Called Daddys (fathers) ??? by SirDavico(m): 8:04am On Aug 23, 2016 |
Ok, straight to the point. Matthew 23:8-11 clearly states:
so why do christians church leaders Daddys/Fathers? Someone should kindly provide a cogent reason for this, with biblical backing. |

SirDavico:I believe its a recognition of where they stand in the faith and not that they are proxies for the Father(as the op verses refer): 12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 2:12-14 We have children and brothers/sons and daughters in the Lord, we also have fathers in the Lord 1 Like 1 Share |

That's what you get when you ignor the bible but rather depend on man. I am of the opinion that most people. Don't know why we have a book called 'The Holy Bible'. If they do, they will know better. |
