You twist scripture to suit your own purpose-just like Satan! (Check Matthew 4:6 to see how Satan does that)

Pot. Kettle. Black. You're the one who's twisting scripture. And then you refuse to answer the most simple questions. Let's look at the verse in context, shall we:
Matthew 23:1
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Matthew 23:2
Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Matthew 23:3
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Matthew 23:4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Matthew 23:5
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Matthew 23:6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Matthew 23:7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Matthew 23:8
But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:9
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew 23:10
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Matthew 23:11
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
This is a powerful rebuke of the scribes, Pharisees and FALSE Christians. You should not seek worldly honors, fancy garments or high seats. Since we are all True Christian™ soldiers and brethren, no single person should assume
honorific titles like "Rabbi", "Father" or "Master".
Jesus finishes by saying "
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant". How does that compare with your Pope (which means "Father" in Latin), who wears a triple crown and lets himself be carried around sitting in "
the chief seats"?
The worst part of your blasphemies is where you're portraying Jesus as a mo
ron. According to your twisted reading, Jesus allows me to call my mother "Mother", but not to call my father "Father". Is that the sick way you interpret this verse?
I asked you before, and I'll ask you again: Do you really think Jesus is an utter fool, who takes umbrage at us if we call our own father "Father".
Yes or no?
