| Bible Question: I was told that you should not call anyone Father except God the Father and that it can be found in the book of Matthew. I can't find it -- is this true and where I find it? |

Bible Answer: Hi janierudack, there is a correction for my previous post. You can find what you are looking for in Matthew 23:9. I believe John Gill gives a good explanation for this.-John "Ver. 9. And call no man your father upon the earth,.... Not but that children may, and should call their natural parents, fathers; and such who have been instrumental in the conversion of souls, may be rightly called by them their spiritual fathers; as servants and scholars also, may call those that are over them, and instruct them, their masters: our Lord does not mean, by any of these expressions, to set aside all names and titles, of natural and civil distinction among men, but only to reject all such names and titles, as are used to signify an authoritative power over men's consciences, in matters of faith and obedience; in which, God and Christ are only to be attended to." |
