New Living Translation Matthew 23:8-10

“Don’t let anyone call you ‘Rabbi,’ for you have
only one teacher, and all of you are equal as
brothers and sisters. And don’t address anyone
here on earth as ‘Father,’ for only God in heaven is
your spiritual Father. And don’t let anyone call you
‘Teacher,’ for you have only one teacher, the
Messiah.


so why are we still doing it?

does it mean we don't care or we have decides to
overlook that portion of the Bible?

what about our pastors, can't they correct us??
are they enjoying the honour despite the fact that
its wrong?
pls I need answers.........

Deceit..
They are simply enjoying it.
And the followers are ignorantly adressing them as such..

Often heard people say, "my daddy said" my pastor said" and not "The Bible Says!!"

What annoys me most is when an elderly person calls the pastor's wife who is within the same age range with her daughter "mummy" Like,what in heaven's name is that?

I knew within me that it was wrong to address them like that even before I found this scripture.





Many pastors have relegated Jesus and promoted themselves.........
