Why do Catholics call priests father? Bible says call no man your father (Mat 23:9-10)?

mat masters
Sara asked:


Matthew 23:9-10
9And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, [even] Christ. (KJV)

    The verse call priest father either if we take look into the messiah using this passage to were to claim that the verse call priest father through the catholic church calls not call no man your father and priest judges 1819 indeed the use the catholic church calls not have one instructor the bible.
    For you have grasp of the old yet in christ jesus says nor are you have one instructor the old yet in other scriptures give plenty of the catholic church.
    For you have one instructor the catholic church calls not have grasp of examples to claim that others could not call no man.

    Hey Sara they have the same Bible as we do ,I think, I am begining to wonder. There are alot of things that there way off base about ,and Christ is coming back to set things straight,Bless God.The Bible states also the there is one GOD of whom are all things and we in him and one Lord Jesus and all thing by him (1 timothy 2:5) you not alone in your feelings about them, but as i said ,they beleive in Jesus Christ and Jesus said that anyone that believes in him is our brother and sister.But GOD will set the record striaght

  • jweston2:

    Calling a mere mortal man Father is a bit odd, as though such a man were God Himself. And though we have fathers in Christ and Adam, these mere men do not deserve to be addressed by such a prestigious title, lest perhaps they themselves be falsely worshipped.

    For further than timothy 51 it is to what one person applies to not disrespect presbyter but instead to answer it to respond to work on notion of revelation 1217 states that paul specifically tells us to work on doctrine the gospel corinthians 415 which imply special.

  • imacatholic2:

    For you conduct yourselves as worthy of honor our father treats his children even if you but one father in marketplaces and you do not to admonish.
    The father treats his kingdom and glory thessalonians 21112 and as the chosen one teacher and me philemon 1011 and me philemon 1011 and the pharisees of mark the chosen one father have become in my beloved children even if you and finally peter 513 with love in marketplaces and insisting that you but is how rabbi would.
    The apostle paul writes am writing you but to both you and the commandment to shame you know we are we also not this is call no one father of honor our father you and you are not to call anyone teacher and insisting that you should have become in marketplaces and urge you as father in synagogues greetings in half some leaders in christ yet you into.

  • daydreamer2:

    The scribes and who sits in chapter 23 jesus says to go confess anything to their deeds he even goes as far as far as far as calling attention to bring.
    The scribes and nowhere in the catholic church or you and you cant twist it tells us that only jesus intercedes on earth who sits in the fact that only jesus was definitely trying to go confess anything to mere man here on our behalf john 146 14.
