edoairways:law is different from religious settings or leaders. No religious leaders should be called lord. Jesus in another place even said we should not call any religious leader father |

Ken4Christ: If it's not scriptural ( Biblical) then it's not tenable and therefore applicable. Then how was it instituted to appease God or appease man , adopted self based culture. Matthew 23 : 7-12 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ 8 (G)But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your [c]Teacher, [d]the Christ, and you are all brethren. 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; (H)for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. 11 But (I)he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 (J)And whoever exalts himself will be [e]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be [f]exalted Nuff Said 1 Like |

edoairways:Totally yes, but the bible advice against calling them lord or father or daddy. Hod knows how these things can be abused. U can respect somebody in several other ways |

Yes na Christianity supported oppression and other demeaning attributes Thats why slavery happened in the history of men |
Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by Vinejay: 10:53am On Sep 11, 2022 |
Yes! There's nothing wrong with that. Lord means having power and authority over others. Bishops are the heads of their churches, and as such they have authority over the church. 1 Like |

If so we shouldn't have Kings since Jesus Christ also is a King. |

thinkmoney:But you can call your biological father daddy I suppose? Why not say you are not comfortable with calling them by titles instead of been generalistic ? |
Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by thinkmoney(m): 11:10am On Sep 11, 2022 |
edoairways:Have u been following my replies? No issues calling ur biological father father or calling a judge lord. But u don't do it in religious settings to religious leaders. Jesus implied this. Besides Jesus called his father father. But he says when it comes to religious aspect, we are all brothers |
Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by obedience4(m): 11:14am On Sep 11, 2022 |
Offpoint1: Go and use the dictionary, are judges in law not called my lord?? Lord is a title for someone in high position.. Just the way they are Kings they are also lords.. Jesus in the context we Christian use is I.e Jesus is the lord of lords, or kings of kings.. We Christian are merely using English language to lift and extort the name of Jesus. |

Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by Krismas(m): 11:21am On Sep 11, 2022 |
komekn:Cannons of scriptural interpretation dictates u acertain exactly who Jesus was addressing at every speech. In this particular instance, He was addressing the Apostles ONLY. They are not to have spiritual fathers or any form of overseer other than He Jesus. Then He ended the synoptic gospels by commanding them to go and disciple all nations. Meaning they shud go and raise their own disciples as he has raised dem. So they are to be fathers and masters to others. Am not sure of wot lord means. I don’t think it means wot people are saying. Otherwise nothing wrong in calling a spiritual leader father or master as in one who teaches another a trade. Except u urself are an apostle. Then ur Revelation is direct. U are not mastered by any man |
Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by edoairways: 11:30am On Sep 11, 2022 |
thinkmoney:I only stated the fact because Jesus Christ was clear on who you call father. Because of your stereotypical or sentimental view of pastors, you just explain what was not said |
Re: Is It Right To Address Bishops As Lords? by SeriouslySense(m): 11:33am On Sep 11, 2022 |
Lol, why are you asking all these question with obvious answers, it is not right. There is only one lord and we know who. |

Ken4Christ: Must you create thread? Are judges not also addressed as Lord. Kuku tell Gabriel Jesus to change his name. The pope is addressed as 'His Holiness'. This one should be your thread for next Sunday. Aigooo! |

Ken4Christ: Lawyers address judges in court as my lord. A man is the Lord of his wife in certain circles. it's not a big deal if used In the correct context. |

[color=#000099][/color] Ken4Christ: Please stop this unnecessary argument! You should have researched on the word 'Lord'. It signifies owner of a particular jurisdiction, just like Land Lord. The Bishop is in charge of a particular diocese, just as a judge is addressed as my lord. Do you call your dad father? If yes you have fallen in to the same pedigree. If you follow it sheepishly without understanding it, then you have to go back to primary school to learn figure of speech |
