I think Pastor Adeboye started it. Despite being the humblest Pastor in the world.

You should differentiate between physical fathers and spiritual fathers. Any man or woman who is feeding you spiritual food like pastors are your spiritual father irrespective of his or her age even if you are older.

Am sorry o bt are u SURE u are a christain cos lots of threads like this is always from those terrorist disguising as christian and Whatever u like u call ur pastor or alfa,there are better issues to bother you....the bible instruct us to "Look unto Jesus,the author and Finisher of our Faith" If you keep looking at others the way they practise their christianity,you may be diverted...Jesus is Lord!

Poliporpor:
After an argument in church resulting from "call me mommy and I am older than you”, I have been having this curiosity, why are pastors now called “Daddy” and their wives “mummy?” personally, I do not believe that it is right to address a pastor as “Daddy”. Like pastor is not enough respect to someone who teaches the Bible? Jesus was called "Teacher" and not Daddy. Is there any bible verse to wrong my thought or are we now adopting our own style of Christianity? And why would a pastor even accept such a title when our father in heaven is also addressed as such?

anonimi:
Because their followers are sheeple who see the pastor as their own personal god and have forgotten/replaced the Almighty God who seeks those to worship him in spirit and in truth.
The followers set themselves up to be defrauded by the scammers in cassock.

More reason i don't like Nigeria churches. .

U will see an elder kneeling down to greet the so called mummy and daddy.
so pathetic

Modified

That was how one student pastor told me to kneel whenever i want to greet him n my pastor . .i was told him bluntly "i don't kneel down to greet at home..so why should i do opposite outside"
I wanted to insult him that day

The truth is most Nigerians have high service atitude

Dts wat we Catholics call Reverend Father it's a mark of extreme respect we accord ordained priests.

Church is a family. The heads or pillars of the family are the father and mother, otherwise called daddy and mummy. I guess that's why we call them daddy and mummy.

KingAfo:
This is just respect. Nothing more

robosky02:
JUST a sign or mark of respect

ok


why do you call your father daddy?

agwom:
signs of respect for the chief servant of God

fikfaknuel:
I think this is the most stupid question I have ever come across. Even more stupid than 'Is he a boy?'

Aiholi:



Sir Seun, Daddy Adeboye as a respected man of God DID NOT tell any one to refer to him as that.. His spiritual children call him that. I personally see nothing wrong in the name.

In Yoruba tradition, we refer to anyone older or able to parent us as ''daddy'' and ''mummy'' so why cant a man of God be referred to as ''daddy'' seeing he is over 70??

afroxyz:


And where did you see in the bible that a man should marry only one wife or that one should not smoke, or that alcohol is sin? Abeg borrow brain

What exactly is your point oga, I see u as someone who has an unnecessary resentment for the clerics. How does calling a cleric daddy make one gullible? And do they ask that they be called so or people just decide to d that?

Poliporpor:
Thank you very much for this Bible verse. I never knew it existed i just checked it. Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. But the pastors read this verse in the Bible, then why do they accept when people cal them that?
