Perhaps, but I highly doubt he called the priests that....ya think?

that's not what your message implied...something about calling no man on earth father...whatever...That would be unusual for God to propose when the commandments state that we should honor our FATHER and mother....do you suppose that it means honor God and mama?????I don't think so...did He call the priests Father...who knows, but He called the Jewish leaders Rabbi. I can't imagine your hangup on such an inane point...the Christian chuch interpreted it just fine for 15 centuries and here you come to clear it all up.....thanks!!!

Matthew 23:9

Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

These are the words of Jesus Himself, surely not "inane".

They are very straightforward and easy to obey.

I call my Dad "Dad" and my pastor by his first name.

But by all means, explain the passage away all you want cuz your church teaches the opposite.
