Hi guys,
What did Jesus mean by "And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven." (Matt 23:9)?
I noticed that protestants generally look at that and attack Catholics, yet they don't realize they're also attacking Eastern Orthodoxy, and Anglicans/Episcopalians. In anycase, I don't think the passage is command to never call your father as , "father". That seems ridiculous.
In anycase, anyone have any thoughts on this?
God bless!
