“8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all students. 9 And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father—the one in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah.”
And how do you apply the related admonitions regarding “teacher” and “instructor”?
How would you?
How' 'bout what does the word "call" mean to you?
How was that word framed in context?
Is it ok to sweep it all away thinking/saying "the Church dunit, so it's what He would have wanted the way things to be ('cuz the Church dunit)"?
Among Southern Baptists (not to claim them as 100% prefectomundo) they call their Pastors "brother". The Pastor calls men of the church "brother".
There's an application. Good enough? If not, then you tell me what's wrong with that (not tell me something else, or go off on tangents, not unless telling me that FIRST). You asked a question you got an answer. Now it's your turn.
You could post answer addressed to Elsie, instead of me, if you'd prefer to leave me out of this...
I wouldn't be offended if you did.
Don't do those; either.
This is NOT rocket surgery...
