Catholics love to cherry pick verses.

You need to read them IN CONTEXT.

Jesus doesn’t go switching subjects in midstream like the Catholic church teaches that He does, this being a perfect example.

His whole delivery here is about religious titles and you expect people to think that in the middle of all that, He’s telling children to not call their male parent “father”.

It’s just downright stupid to interpret it that way and think He bounces all over the place at random.

You are oblivious to what was so clear in that I was replying to your absurdity absurdly... re read it slowly.

You received the explanation you needed. Youn can reject it.... but you can’t deny it.

You are correct MM. Let me give you another verse, that I believe is often misinterpreted. Genesis 6:3: “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” The context, is the Nephilim and the upcoming Flood, but right in the middle of the discussion about the Flood, many think God suddenly changes, and says man will only live 120 years? I don’t believe that interpretation. Most people don’t get past 80 and Noah lived another 300 years after the Flood, so it didn’t quite work out that way. I believe all God meant, was the people had 120 years to repent, before the Flood wiped them out. This may very well have been how long it took Noah to build the ark. It really is that simple. 👍
