Not that it should matter, but I’m with FK on this. I think “Abba” means “Papa” which in most of the US translates as “Daddy”.<p.And it is the very terror of the “consuming fire” of the OT that makes the divine permission to think of Him as “Papa”, that is the miracle, I think.

think of Him as “Papa” I am sure Kosta is referring to the modern goofy connotation of "daddy" nonstop promoted by the secular media, and not the sense of familial intimacy with God that Christ gave us in His Church.
