Because they are worshipped

Daddy.

That word summarizes the love, the affection and the mutual connection between me and my biological father.

To me it's more than just a title, hence I can't share it with anyone. tongue

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.

It's just because most Christians don't read their Bible and gain knowledge for themselves. The Bible in Matthew 23:9 clearly states: Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the Heavenly One.

Confront them next time with this quote.

Exodus 20:12 Says Honour thy father and thy mother...., Mathew 15:4 and Ephesians 6:1-3. Also told us to honour our father and mother which is the first commandment with a promise. Pls if you don't understand the Bible seek counseling.

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

its really baffling....these sets of ppl wont rebuke their members when dey kneel to greet dem

Too bad they call them Mummies and Daddies. The main reason why the gullible followers do exactly what they say without questions.

If you call them Mummies and Daddies,it means they can spend from the offering as much as they like,you will never think they can be wrong and basically untouchable. Anyone wonder why Pastors take their members for granted.

I think it is in your church pastors take members 4 granTED

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?

Read Exodus 20:12, Mathew 15:4 and Ephesians 6:1-3.

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.

then what do we call Gods?.....economic father?...dont even mention heavenly father.cos God is both spiritual and heavenly father

The fact is, true Christians obey God's commands as found in the Bible. They don't use high sounding title for their leaders. If you read the remaining verses, you will see the difference between true christianity and counterfeit ones.
True Christians actually obey Jesus commands including the one found in Matthew 28:19,20.

you're right

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.

well said...thats how they deceive themselves.even when their pastors are doing the wrong thing.they will say,'touch not my anointed'

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.

My thought is... I don't think the pastors opted to be called such by assumption!

The people call them that and either they love it or have told them not to call them but people still ignorantly call them that despite Jesus' command not to call Anyone father but God only.

If we knew better I don't think we'll stubbornly still call Christians fathers.

Because when you call thieves (pastors or so-called, 'men of god') Daddy and Mummy, they expect you to obey them even more than your parents. So that if they order you to do anything, you do it without asking questions.

It is a control measure just like religion, which is a huge manipulative tool. Religion was created to control id*iots who can't think for themselves.

Does anyone still wonder why Nigerian pastors are very rich while most of their id*iotic followers are poor? Because their dumb church congregations are usually brainwashed to give all their money to "recieve riches and blessings from god".

Religious id*oits don't know that most of them perhaps have better morals than their thieving and morally-bankrupt pastors!

The same pastor you tag as spiritual father will also face judgement, and won't be the one to beg God on anyone's behalf, why do we do these things for Christ sake!
You have the Bible and the holy spirit, more importantly Jesus, who else do you need to make heaven?
