"And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me" -- Hebrews 2:13

And the bible speaks of Abraham and Sarah and "all the souls that they had gotten".

one can also have spiritual children, the Hebrew bible says that if one preaches to another and teaches him,and the other follows the word of God, the spiritual teacher is considered to be his father, for he has "made" his soul. Thus we are Christ's children, His little ones.

RIGHT! This is exactly why Catholics use the terms, "sister," "mother" and "father" for our religious and clergy. Nice of you to prove the point, scripturally.
