“It doesn’t mean dad...”
Dad means father. Father means father. What part of that do you not understand?
“Next time I see a priest I’ll call him dad...”
Go ahead.
“Then I’ll tell him you said dad and father are the same thing...”
And he’ll agree with me. They mean EXACTLY the same thing. Only one is used to refer to priests in English. But go ahead and appear ignorant.
And that is exactly what the scriptures are warning about...
No problem calling your dad father but you dare not call a priest that...In clear, blatant violation of the scriptures...
