“I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel” (1 Cor. 4:14–15).

Better tell Paul he’s a heretic.

You can deflect and accuse all you want, but Jesus command was to not address religious leaders with the title of *Father*.

Why are you all disobeying a clear, direct, concise command of Jesus?

If you think Paul was out of line, does that justify you to do the same? Is that how you rationalize disobeying Him?

Yet, in all of his writings he never introduces himself as "Father Paul".

Paul is not claiming to be called "Father" as Roman Catholics call their priests against Biblical injunctions on doing so.

Better to start reading the NT in context.
