Call No Man Father
Summary
This article explores deception and its consequences within the Christian faith. It critiques how some have distorted the teachings of Jesus, particularly the directive to call no one on earth "Father" in a spiritual sense. This misuse has led many astray from the core message of the Gospel.

The Foundation of Faith
The Christian faith was established on the teachings of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, creating laws and statutes that honor God. However, many have disregarded these teachings, causing confusion and leading countless people away from the truth.
The Danger of Misinterpretation
Some argue that scriptural interpretation is subjective, yet the Bible warns against this. In Matthew 23:5-10, Jesus criticizes religious leaders for their vanity and desire for recognition. They sought prestige, manipulated laws, and twisted God's truth, all while ignoring the destruction they caused.
Misplaced Ambitions
These leaders, much like some today, are often blinded by ambition. They seek to leave a legacy, but fail to realize that true recognition comes through humility and service. Jesus exemplified this by trading glory for suffering, riches for poverty, and honor for disgrace.
Truth Versus Deception
In John 8:45-49, Jesus speaks of the challenge in accepting truth. Many prefer comforting lies over hard truths. Despite endless messages from the Word of God, people continue rejecting the truth.
The Consequences of Disregard
Current events show the persistent chaos and strife in the world, highlighting humanity's failure to heed divine guidance. Despite this, many still elevate others to a status meant only for God, calling them "Father" without acknowledging their limits.
Hearing and Following God
Jesus declared, "He that is of God hears God's words," yet many are deaf to His voice. Christ's teachings originate from the Heavenly Father, not from human constructs. The Jews accused Him of blasphemy, but He remained focused on honoring God over human traditions.
A Call for Humility
In Matthew 23:12-13, Jesus emphasizes humility, warning against prideful self-exaltation. He came to serve, not to be served, offering a countercultural model of leadership.
True Worship and Obedience
Jesus commands us not to call anyone "Rabbi" or "Father," for we have one Father in heaven (Matthew 23:8-10). These are not empty words; they form the essence of our relationship with God.
Maintaining a True Relationship with God
Our connection with God depends on recognizing Him as our ultimate Father and guide. Elevating human leaders to divine status fractures this relationship. As stated in Mark 7:7 and Matthew 15:9, adhering to human traditions while ignoring divine commandments leads to vain worship.
Reflection and Repentance
It’s essential to examine our beliefs and ensure they align with Scripture. Are we worshiping in truth, or merely following human traditions? By reevaluating our approach, we can reconnect with God before it's too late.
