well why do Protestants call their father's father and then criticize Catholics for calling people father?

maybe He meant, don't take any man on earth as your Creator, because your Father in heaven is your Creator.


9fe2a2 No.589966

>>589962

Because the condemnation is against spiritual fatherhood, according to which Christians have only one, God the Father.


0946f6 No.589967

>>589966

How do you know he was exclusively talking about spiritual fatherhood?

He didn't specify that, he simply said "call no man father".

Also, what about commands like "if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out"?

But I guess He just meant that opposite of what he said again.

4bdf4f No.589992

>>589962

It means using Father as a title that you add to your name that everyone has to call you by, such as complete strangers.

It would be like Paul making himself to be known to the world as "Father Paul," it's prideful and exalting the self. Jesus said not to do it in Matthew 23:8-10, and the "Father" title specifically infringes on the fact that our Father is one in heaven. Behaviors we typically see along with going in long robes and praying vain repetitions, thinking to be heard for their much speaking, and to be seen of men. Basically making a show of being pious. As Jesus Christ said, beware of those men, do not as they do.

So Catholcs are terrible people because they say with apostolic authority that those verses refer to the pride of the rabbis who abuse those simple terms.

But when protestants come up with their retarded theories because "context", it is perfectly ok, because titles, or meotnyms, or the other nonsensical damage control.

That is why nobody takes protestant seriously: because yoou parrot the propaganda that some retard put in your heads and then you try to come up with excuses for it. And when someone destroys what you say you start to come up with even crazier, wilder excuses. And in the end you complain that "catholics called someone a father!", but have no probelem coming up with your PERSONAL excuses when you or Paul call someone a father.

Because no matter what, your purpose is to be good goyim and attack the catholics in your shameful protestantism, born of propaganda and heresy, and perpetuated through boomers and theologically bankrupt people who are "inspired b y the Holy Spirit"

>that pic

kek, I just had the same thought yesterday.

what's even funnier is that Jesus says "this is my body" as he's pointing to bread and passing it around. He wasn't just talking about bread while running around Galilee, but he was talking about something tangible in the presence of his followers

oh well, Protties, when will they learn??


14b0af No.590731

>>590722

Oh wow I never realised that their flag actually has 'the body the blood' on it. That's ironic.

But in all seriousness, we shouldn't be calling people father, even biological fathers. I'm convinced that Jesus was suggesting communal child raising; saying that we should treat everyone as brothers.

Matthew 23:9. It's kinda what this whole thread is about. Also of note is Matthew 12:46-50

46While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.b 48But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 50For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

It's not excuses, it's called treating the text with respect and letting it speak for itself instead of treating it as a blank sheet to insert what is wanted to be there.

Because a piece of bread is obviously not Christ's body, just like a guy in a hang glider is obviously not an eagle.

When Jesus says that he is the shepherd and we are his sheep, do you think that means that Jesus literally worked as a shepherd and literally wants us to become his sheep?

>>590722

Clearly Jesus never told a single parable at any point throughout the gospel. Everything he said is to be taken literally 100% like a piece of bread being a body of a person that hasn't died yet…

I thought it was fairly well-understood that the point of 'call no man 'father'' is that you should not treat any human being as the necessary conduit through which you meet Christ. You can have an immediate relationship with Christ, and you should not be duped by false teachings into believing that you can only reach Christ through another (non-divine) human being. The priest, as your 'spiritual father,' is there to guide your Christian development and help you deepen your relationship with Christ. When you confess, Christ forgives you, not the priest.

I find it somewhat ironic that the fury against the practice of referring to priests as 'father' largely comes from fundamental Baptists who appear to fall heavily into pastor-worship. During Divine Liturgy, for example, all the congregation and the priest face the same way - they all pray and worship together and face God as one community, whereas in Anderson-style Baptist sermons everyone is entirely focused on the pastor. He looks at them and they look at him for the entire thing. Here the pastor interferes with the directionality of worship by shouting and smacking the Bible loudly until all his congregation are hanging on his every word.

When we place greater value on actions than words, and observe what people actually do during a Baptist service and an Orthodox Divine Liturgy, rather than what they merely "say," I think you will find Baptists coming up wanting compared to the apostolics.

You do not know the Bible. You may know every word; but, the Word eludes you.

>I don't believe my Lord is a "retard"

Pardon the hard-hearted expression, but you do not understand the Word Our Lord speaks.

>It's not excuses, it's called treating the text with respect and letting it speak for itself instead of treating it as a blank sheet to insert what is wanted to be there.

It's called ignoring the apostolic succession, holy tradition, and believing you know more about scripture than she that has preserved it for you. That she, being the Catholic Church.

>>591251

>Because a piece of bread is obviously not Christ's body, just like a guy in a hang glider is obviously not an eagle

How be it that you know more than the Apostles? Did they ever preach to neglect the Eucharist? Was there ever any division that they believed they were eating of the Body and the Blood of Christ?

You pick and choose what is parable and what is not, because you have forsaken the authority that would guide you, the very same that Christ has left us.


4bdf4f No.593570

>>593510

If you take the title of Father then you are claiming to be in the relationship of father to every person. Which is what anyone who puts "Father" in front of their name does. That's not the same as saying "their father" or "his father" or "my father." It's not denoting a real relationship between particular people, it's taking on the title of Father to all people. It's just saying to the whole world "call him Father." Yet you do this. Brazenly.

Of course, you don't really care about any of this, you only want to excuse yourself so you are using scripture nullification to attempt to claim that Jesus said absolutely nothing in Matthew 23:8-10. That he may as well have said nothing according to you, that we could just remove those verses according to you because they mean nothing, instead of looking at the context to see nobody else can rightly claim the title of Father at any time. Except a person who disregards Matthew 23:9 and teaches people that it essentially means nothing, which, coincidentally, is exactly the same as the pharisees did as described in Mark 7:7-13 when they nullified the commandment to honor your father and mother, and likewise teaching others and vainly insisting that it needn't be observed.

Mark 7:13

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.


9fe2a2 No.593577

>Of which, Catholic Priests use as our shepherds, given authority to invoke the sacraments given us by Christ.

Such a meaning is exactly what Christ means when He says "Call no man father", for "one is your Father, which is in heaven". These priests, who partake in the rebellion of Korah (since they rebel against the God ordained order and instead institute a priesthood of their own), arrogate to themselves the spiritual fatherhood of God by their sacramental character.
