@Neo Anderson Is it true?

Matt. 23:8 - in this teaching, Jesus also says not to call anyone teacher or rabbi as well. But don’t Protestants call their teachers “teacher?” What about this commandment of Jesus? When Protestants say “call no man father,” they must also argue that we cannot call any man teacher either.

Eph. 3:14-15 - every family in heaven and on earth is named from the “Father.” We are fathers in the Father.

1 Cor. 4:15 - Paul writes, “I became your father in Christ Jesus.” Matt. 3:9; Luke 3:8 - Jesus refers to Abraham as our “father.” Mark 11:10 - the people cried out blessed is the kingdom of our “father” David that is coming! Luke 1:32 - God’s angel says Jesus will be great and be given the throne of his “father” David. Luke 1:55 - Mary says that He spoke to our “fathers,” to Abraham and to his posterity for ever. Luke 1:73 - Zechariah says the oath which he swore to our “father” Abraham. Luke 16:24,30 - Jesus, in His parable about the rich man, says our “father” Abraham. John 4:12 - the Samaritan woman asks Jesus if He is greater than our “father” Jacob. John 7:22 - Jesus refers to the “fathers” who gave the Jews the practice of circumcision.

You can go to the united church if you want all that. The church isn’t going to change its centuries old traditions which fosters the continuation of humanity for the sake of a few urban dwellers who think they know better.
