I've been getting more and more burdened by people referring to Lee, Titus Chu and others as their "spiritual father".

- We are not to call anyone on earth "father"
- We are not to be called "teacher"
We need to take this to heart. If we disregard this plain teaching, we end up with us revering our "spiritual father" here on earth.... we need to stop venerating other human servants of God. Give God all the glory, only He is worthy of it.
Anyways, that's what's been bugging me lately. |
So why did Paul say God gave some as teachers, and no one says a word? Why did Paul refer to himself as a "begetting father" to the saints and everyone looks the other way?
Why does Paul get a free pass here?
Paul was a christian, much used by God. But he was too "organizational" for my liking.
