"Matthew 23:6-9 reads, "They (the scribes and the Pharisees) love places of honor at banquets, seats of honor in synagogues, greetings in marketplaces, and the salutation 'Rabbi.' As for you, do not be called 'Rabbi.' You have but one teacher, and you are all brothers. Call no one on earth your father; you have but one Father in heaven."

In other words, to me, Yeshua was saying call no man "Father of Creation" - so calling a priest father is just a form of respect as in Father Brown for instance ....

So others who do not develop your private interpretation may be going around calling other men Father of Creation???

Sorry, but it’s not my private interpretation.
