Papa, Father, Daddy G.O, Daddy and other self glorifying names you call your Pastors is wrong - Jesus ! We can infer same for Mama, Mother-in-Israel, Mummy and Mummy G.O

Matthew 23
1. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see..
6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;
7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers.
9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah.
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
12 For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted

Jesus preaches humility for Christian leaders! Don’t idolize any pastor and don’t allow anyone to Idolize you!
Jesus says we are all brothers and it should remain like that! This does not mean we don’t respect our Christian leaders but we MUST not idolize them! If they preach wrong we must correct them in love as a fellow soldier in Christ! Pastors must also come down from their high horses and realize that God sees them no differently from any other true child of God!

Righteousness2:
Just as you acccord respect to your Physical
Parents, There is absolutely nothing wrong in according same to your Spirtual Parents.

What is Wrong is when you begin to worship them as GOD or you take or place them as GOD. That becomes idol worshipping.

Na Paul you follow not Jesus!

Paul says:
1 Corinthians 4:15
For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Philemon 1:10
I appeal to you for my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment.

Jesus says:
Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

Hmmm!
Father in the Lord!
Our Daddy!
Daddy GO!

Father Thomas!

It’s here I know your views on religious matters on this forum is biased, selfish and self righteous, to glorify your bloated ego.
