As Saint Paul has spiritual children, so does Mr. Luther. Metmom is one of them as she follows his teaching.

Again, you are misrepresenting my position and beliefs. I told you once and you are persisting in repeating the same error.

I follow Jesus, NOT any man.

The fact that some of my beliefs are the same as those held by Luther by no means indicates I am following him. It's a matter of anyone who follows Jesus will find themselves agreeing with anyone else who follows Jesus. It's just going to happen that way but correlation is not causation.

Get it straight this time.

You claim scripture is the supreme authority.
Paul had spiritual children.
He was a father.
You misinterpret Jesus’ admonition about using the term “father”.
You reject the church’s teaching on truckloads of doctrine.
You cannot explain how Paul can claim fatherhood in the Bible, like the church teaches, and instead reject both Paul, and the church.
That is more like Mr. Luther than like Jesus, who was subject to his parents, an authority established by God.
If the scriptures is your authority, why do you reject Paul’s interpretation of how women should behave in the church and how the use of the term “father” can be done without disobeying what Jesus meant?

But wasn't it Luther who said,

"It follows that the Church is essentially an unequal society, that is, a society comprising two categories of per sons, the Pastors and the flock...the one duty of the multitude is to allow themselves to be led, and, like a docile flock, to follow the Pastors" ?
