Calling the priests FATHER in the Bible part 2



Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel. - 1 Corinthians 4:15 (NIV)

REFUTATIONS:

A) Did you read here that Paul was called Father here? No

B) Is the word BECOME synonymous of the word CALL? NO

C) Why use the Protestant Bible by the Catholic Apologetics if the Catholic Church believes that Protestant Bibles have translation errors? It will imply that she does not have principle. let's use the Catholic Bible instead.

1 Corinthians 4:15 For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. (Douay Rheims Version)

It will imply that Paul is not a father but mother. He begotten the Christians by means of the gospel it is because the Covenant from Heaven is the mothers of Christians in Galatians 4:22-26.

The one who gives birth is not A MAN but A WOMAN

1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.

So we can see here that the MOTHERHOOD is the parenthood of the apostles to their flock.


D) It is clear that in religion we should call the priests FATHER as Christ mentioned in Matthew 23:9. Why the Catholic Church is hard headed about it?

E) The preachers of God are called BROTHERS. They are not called FATHERS.

Philemon 1:1 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

2 Peter 3:15 Even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

F) In the Christian religion, All Christians from members to leaders are brethen to each other.

Matthew 23:8 All ye are brethren.

G) Catholic Apologists will cite that Timothy was called son by Apostle Paul and they will conclude that he is another father in the Christian Church.

The question is DID TIMOTHY CALL PAUL FATHER? WHAT VERSE? No verse they will cite!

If Apostle Paul is also our brother, why he called Timothy his son? It is because Paul acted as like Father

1 Thessalonians 2:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

H) Paul is not another father of the Christians, Christians have only ONE FATHER and that is God

Matthew 23:9 For one is your Father, which is in heaven. also read Ephesians 4:6.
