It is from our African culture to do so out of respect.
Yorubas call every male elder Baba or Daddy and female elder Iya or Mommy.

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.

When you see your pastor next time, call him brother followed by his name eg if your pastor is Pastor Adeboye, when you see him facially, Address him as brother Adeboye

I wonder why they don't obey Jesus command in Matthew 23:9.
Many people misinterpret what our Lord, Saviour and Messiah Jesus Christ said.

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!
Did he tell you he was looking at anyone. Issues like this should be addressed calling these people daddy and mummy gives them this thought that they can't be questioned even when they have done something bad. These days i see olde people bend and kneel for their pastors. Married women who don't respect their husbands at home go on their knees at the sight of their pastors. Nigerians have turned these clergies to God and it's giving them the power to ride and oppress their congregation.

If you like start quoting touch not my anointed.. I don't care i'm a fervent christian and i know where i'm going.

And then, they will tell you that you are respecting the anointing and not the age as if Pastors have one special oil on themselves when every believer are anointed of God.

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?
What do you call your biological father?

Mind you its not just Daddy but Daddy in the Lord
Re: Why Are Pastors And Their Wives Called Daddy And Mummy? by ring7(m): 4:13pm On Sep 10, 2016

I don't know about Pastors being called daddy and all. What I do know is that, in my culture we refer to elders as Mom and Dad, more especially if they are your parents age and above. Better yet, you can even refer to them as Aunt and Uncle if Dad&Mom are too much

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

Thanks for dis... As long as the man of God in question is an elder calling him ''daddy'' is not a crime

It's because the pastor f*cked his wife in the spirit realm and they gave birth to all the church members spiritually...Any more questionshuh??
