Do you see all your accusations?
You are hurling accusations...
You did not say that - You ORDERED ME to obey God...
Double bind oxymoronocism...
You did not merely inform me that God in the Bible says obey Him...
Which is THE correct response...
You accused me of doing so...
I said the the Iconography of the Ekklesia of God is not ONLY the works of our hands...
They are a part of the Holy Things of God...
You got that one right - And you had no answer...
You can tell it to Paul...
Hurling rapid-fire accusations over the internet is not what Christians are called to do...
Don't you agree?
You need to think about what YOU say to another person...
Isn't that how it works...?
What one is falsely accused of...
Is exactly what the false accuser is doing...
He claimed Spiritual Fatherhood...
Your very own words...

Paul never tells anyone to call him 'father'.
Paul was explaining that he was among the Apostles, one among the few people who got the gospel message directly from Jesus and not taught by men---that is what an Apostle is.
Paul was not reading from books or letters about the gospel, nor was he being taught first by Peter and the others, but the Holy Spirit taught Paul.
Paul, as a person who got the message before others, in this he was like a father for being before the others. However, Paul does not say to call him ‘father’, and there is nowhere in the Bible where anyone calls Paul ‘father’.
Paul never told anyone to call him father. Paul was saying that Timothy was like family, they were like a father and son. See Philippians 2:22.
Paul calls Timothy BROTHER and therefore Paul is calling himself a brother
1 Thessalonians 3:2 We sent
Timothy, who is our brother and co-worker in God's service in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith,
2 Corinthians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and
Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all the saints throughout Achaia:
Colossians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and
Timothy our brother,
Paul calls Titus BROTHER:which, again, makes Paul calling himself a brother
2 Corinthians 2:13 I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find
my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia.
Paul is called BROTHER:
2 Peter 3:15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as
our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.
Acts 9:17 So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul.
"Brother Saul," he said, "the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
The Catholics and Eastern Orthodox call their brother's in Christ 'father'. The brothers even call each other 'father'.
In 1 Corinthians 1:15, Paul says to the believers in Corinth that they do not have many fathers in Christ. However, we can see how this is opposite of the Catholic religion. The Catholic religion calls all their priests ‘father.’ The Catholic “fathers'“ call each other 'father'! There must be tens of thousands of fathers in the Catholic religion.
Now that is defiance to what Jesus says.
