AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear].

Bible Question (short): Why Rabbi? |
Question (full): Dear Rabbi Mark, Greetings in Jesus' name! Jesus said, "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven." Matthew 23:9 NASB Jesus also said, "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers." Matthew 23:8 NASB Friend, you do not supply any information in your personal profile, so I don't know if you are a Jewish rabbi or a Christian wanting to call attention to your ministry of teacher. That is exactly why your (mis)quote of Jesus' words caught my attention. At the same time, I must say that though you claim no teaching authority, your posts (yea, even THIS post!) certainly SEEM to assert authority over others in this public online forum. Mark, I appreciate your Biblical commentary and personal opinion, but toning down the 'advice' portion of your posts would go a long way toward amicable discussion. :-) I hope to get to know you better, and a little 'bio' would help. Blessings upon you and yours. In Christ Jesus, charis |
