Jesus said this to condemn pride and pretense. It is quite ok to call you dad father. Jesus was speaking of spiritual titles and giving undue spiritual authority to a human being, as if he were the the source of truth rather than God.
My friend, there are numerous cases wherein Christ Jesus called God "Father". Here are a few examples: Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. (John 5:19, New International Version) "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. (John 12:49, New American Standard Bible) 17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:1-3, English Standard Version)
God also speaks audibly (three times in Jesus' life). He spoke audibly 3 times and in each case pointed to Jesus. 1) This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Baptism (Mark 1:11) 2) This is my Son listen to Him. Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5) 3) I have glorified your Name and will do it again. Last week of his life (John 12:28)
The Pharisees referred to Jesus as "rabbi," a term meaning teacher or master. They also used the derogatory term "Beelzebul" to accuse Jesus of being possessed by demons or Satan.
Yes God is Jesus father. Jesus called him so.
Why we could not call any maan holy father is because we have a Father and his name is GOD/JESUS. If we call any man our holy father than what did they do for us to help us in anyway? GOD/JESUS died for us on the cross to save us from our sins, so that is why we call God/JESUS our Holy Father.
think of jesus like a lord and God/Father as a king
My Father
Catholics do call God father. Not to do so would be heretical as Jesus, himself, said we should address him as Our Father.
Oh honey, Jesus called God His Father a whopping 165 times in the New Testament. That's right, He was all about that father-son relationship. So, if you ever need a reminder of the importance of family, just take a leaf out of Jesus' book...literally.
In Aramaic, Jesus called God "Abba," which means "Father" or "Daddy."
Jesus prayed continuously, the Father's will, not His. His entire life was to be of service to the Heavenly Father, an example for all people on earth.
About 180 times
God Lord Jesus Father in Heaven are among the most common titles or names (in English) that different Christian groups use to call their god.
