When Jesus Christ, the Son of God issues a commandment, shouldn't it be heeded? Even if it didn't expressly involve blessing and cursing?
That's always been so frightingly odd, when I view this sect in The Church. I don't mean to "pick," just to... warn.

8”But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ.[a] 11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
