IS IT BIBLICAL TO CALL A HUMAN PERSON 'SPIRITUAL FATHER' OR NOT?

G. Abi bakit ka po nag papatawag na father? di ba po pagdating sa esperitwal na usapan o gawain e iisa lang po ang ating Ama?

You said that God alone is the spiritual father. O, what if I read from the Bible that a Man is a spiritual father also? Read Rom 4:11 [Good News Bible]: "Abraham is SPIRITUAL FATHER OF BELIEVERS". So, it is not true that only God is spiritual Father as you claim. God made Abraham the Father of many nations and spiritual father of believers.

Judges 17:9-10 Micah told the Levite: "Be to me a PRIEST and FATHER."

Patriarchs are fathers: Gen 4:21

Ancestors are fathers: Mk 11:10/ Lk 1:55, 72-73

Kings are called fathers: 1 Sam 24:11 David called King Saul 'My father, my father' even though his father is Jesse and the son of Saul is Jonathan.

Government leaders are called father: Is 22:21, 23-24

STOP YOUR STUPIDITIES SAKSI NI BAHO.

  1. "I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel" (1 Cor. 4:14–15).
