>> Oh, by the way, (real question, no snark) could you tell me if there is any Christian church which teaches officially (as part of its doctrine) that it is literally a sin to call any man on earth “father”? <<

I am abundantly confident that you understand that Yeshua was condemning Nicolaitanism, not telling his sheep that they couldn’t call their birth father ‘father.’
I am not AT ALL confident that calling any man on earth “father” except your birth father, is Nicolaitanism. Especially since St. Stephen did it, right before his blessed Martyrdom, in which he literally saw the heavens open.
