Bible Question:
Brian G, I'm sorry but my question is about the verses 23:8-9 If you dont know what the title of Peter its okay, but may I ask this question again. Why you have to call your priest father? or the Pope Holy Father? Matthew 23:8-9 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. I hope I will not offended you I'm asking those question so you can have your opportunity to depend what you beleived in or it was written in the Bible. what I would want to get from you is to explain those verses. Thank you, Johnny Next time if you have time to answer our posted I will ask you about purgatory.... |
Bible Answer: The same Greek word translated "father" can also be accurately translated as "reverend" and is so translated in some non-Roman-Catholic Bibles. Many, if not most, Protestants call their pastor "Reverend" or some other term of respect. So in this area, there is little or no real difference between Catholics and Protestants. I am not Cathohlic. I am merely obligated to stick to objective fact. --JVH0212 |
