We ought to take this, and our exchanges in other threads to PM. We will both receive warnings otherwise.

I have no interest in going in to PM with you, nor do i care for your so called teaching you are doing.
You may not care for it but you are learning. Your grammar and spelling have already improved.

I have to go to bed now I will continue when I can. Bye.

Go back and read the threads. I haven't derailed any of them you have. You take my comments personally and then proceed to make an issue of it. I have contributed to this thread and topic but it seems you don't like what I had to say.

BTW it is only arrogance that I think that I know more than you if it isn't true. Reading your posts obviously I do.

Can you actually deal with my post? You have not answered any of my arguments but have retreated into a poor persecuted me position.

Lets look at the passage.

Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
(Mat. 23:1-12)


The context, which you usually fail to give, is the Lord Jesus speaking against the Pharisees and scribes. The verses that follow are full of woe to them for their hypocrisy. Now in that context we must interpret and understand the passage you throw out without regard to its context or what the Lord was teaching in it. You simply can't use the Scriptures as arrows taken out of context to shoot at others.

What the Lord Jesus was teaching and saying is that we ought not be like the scribes and Pharisees who sought the titles of teacher and father and master.

I said I am your teacher but I have never asked you to call me that. Nor have I sought that title from you or anyone else. I have been placed in that position by God not by men.

Again the topic is about bad relationships this one with my mother, its not about you stay on topic or leave.
You are the one who made it about me. Answer what I have posted if you can. Especially the one that you went off on a rabbit trail to keep from dealing with.
