Ah, the assumed trump card when Protestants start loosing an argument. And following the Pharisees, they take a legalistic view of Scripture and salvation. Do really think that our Lord was talking about the word? No, his point was about placing one's faith on a man rather than above God.
Scholars have NOT found any instances in Scripture where the title of FATHER was used.
Oh, really?
Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. (1 Cor. 4:15)
Typical Catholic weaseling to get out of deliberately disobeying a clear, concise, direct, COMMAND of Jesus.
It’s a given when Catholics are confronted with obeying a unequivocally clear direct command of Jesus, they will engage in Olympic grade theological gymnastics to excuse away their direct disobedience to a command of Jesus.
Whatever happened about obeying God?
Suddenly it’s not important when it doesn’t suit you?
Ah,the standard SOP when Catholics are confronted with Scripture - claim the Prots are LOOSING.
And following the Mormons, JWs, SDA folks, they take an inadequate view of Scripture and it's insufficent ability to get a person saved and into heaven.salvation.
The claim was about the TITLE , Father.
