Why do they call their priests "Father"?

The Church which Christ has founded destroys no one, deb. 🙂

Nobody can prove what is right without recognizing what is wrong.
For Christians and believers, the basis is the Bible. Only the Bible can tell whether such practice is wrong or not.

When the Bible says it is wrong to call any man your "Father" as the "Fatherhood of God in heaven"... then it is wrong. To say that Catholics prohibited this doesnt mean you judge them. They themselves admitted this (see the facts I have presented).

The facts, which Prince HIMSELF (not the links), should care to refute.

🙂

What's wrong. Because it's not MY link, makes it invalid? If that is the case, than you don't know the meaning of debate. And it becomes a tiering bickerment when some one tries to argue reason with you. You are ignorantm you close your mind to others, and expect others to listen to you.

In case you want to REFUTE back, Copying and Pasting the information from the link you provided doesn't make sense in this discussion.

It's okay if you do. So I can ask more questions to you. 🙂

I guess you, YOURSELF, can't refute the facts I presented, can you?

If I cant read, than niether can you. Because I presented you facts, and you refuse to refute them because they are not mine.

What the heck are you talking about? I gave you a link with the topic header "WHY CATHOLICS CALL PRIEST FATHERS." What's the question to this thread, ummm lets see, "WHY DO CATHOLICS CALL THEIR PRIESTS FATHERS?" If you ask me, I think it's a perfect match.

That's why I am asking you that it is better for the sake of argument that you YOURSELF should REFUTE.

The Link ou provided cannot argue with me. I can only read it and nothing else will happen.

If I were to say my refutation, you still would do nothing. I presented you the case of hyperbole. And how Christ used those in conjunction with his teaching. Tell me, are you blind?

I am the first one who posted FACTS. Not my own comments, NOT also yours. They are FACTS, Prince. And those FACTS come from YOUR OWN BELIEF.

So, instead of giving me the link. Post your arguments here.

There's a first time for everything.

And this is the Fatherhood of the Catholic priest, according to a priest himself:

“Catholics rightly, therefore call the priest ‘father’, not to the exclusion of their Father in heaven, but as a manifestation on earth of the supreme Fatherhood of God in the spiritual order, even as an earthly parent is a similar manifestation of that same Fatherhood in the natural order.”

Possible. But according to the Bible, even untill the end of time, or Jesus' second advent, there will still be people who will remain faithful and obedient to God's will, and therefore, consistent with Biblical teachings, commandments and prohibitions. These people are the ones who will receive the Life that God had promised them.

Although fundamentalists like to regard themselves as heirs of original Christianity, this is not an accurate view because fundamentalism has emphasized certain doctrines which were never very important within the Christian tradition and which do not appear to have played any particular role in the early church.

Yes. And they are not the Catholics. Definitely.

Hmmmmm...Maybe I'll look up the "True Church", Church of Christ...and find some fallacies to post as well.

Among other things, this movement
has a prideful, elitist attitude,
frequently engages in dishonest recruitment practices,
has a heavy-handed approach to authority
employs a controversial discipling system, and
misrepresents the Bible's teachings regarding grace, baptism, and salvation

A friend of mines wife attended a church of Christ and is it true that they post your tithing or giving to the church on a public board? If so, that is a form of manipulation.
