Title: Fathers Post by: David_james on December 04, 2010, 06:53:13 PM I know the Bible says, call noone your father. However, I am confused about whether or not if that includes referring our Dad's as our father?

Eph.6:1-4 are clear examples that our biological fathers may be called "father". God bless, duval Title: Re: Fathers Post by: nChrist on December 04, 2010, 09:19:29 PM Hi Eph.6:1-4 are clear examples that our biological fathers may be called "father". God bless, duval Good answer Duval. I think that Brother David is thinking about: Matthew 23:9-10 KJV And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. Matthew 23 here is talking about a spiritual sense - replacing our Heavenly Father with a man. This would be a troubling question for some religions that refer to their spiritual leaders as Father. Duval, you chose an excellent portion of Scripture to illustrate the difference. Love In Christ, Tom Title: Re: Fathers Post by: David_james on December 05, 2010, 12:54:07 PM Thank you guys.
