The strong delusion of Protestantism and all that's flowed from it blinds people to the Truth and they play their little games to stroke their own little ego. They follow Eve rather than Christ.
The words of Christ are paramount and Paul calling himself father proves that Christ didn't mean what the lame game players insist He meant. So there it is, Scripture proves Scripture. Exactly what the lame game anti-Catholic crowd say is the way to interpret Scripture proves that the "call no man father" scam so recently brought up on this thrread is just bogus trash. The anti-Catholics own rule disproves the anti-Catholics own lame assertion.
If the example of Paul using the word father isn't sufficient proof that Christ didn't mean what the anti-Catholic scam artists insist He meant, then such folks have to never again quote from anything Paul wrote to butress any argument they make.
So, what's it gonna be? No more quoting of Paul or an admission that the anti-Catholic crowd knowingly twist Scripture to suit their agenda ?
In context, Jesus is addressing calling religious leaders by the title *father*.
No need to throw out Paul for that reason.
But Catholics keep ignoring the clear, direct, unequivocal command of Jesus by excusing and justifying their actions.
Disobeying Jesus never ends well. They need to rethink what they’re doing when they try to rationalize and justify their disobedience.
