What's this verse mean?

[p_rehbein]

Agree on the parking space selling there's hidden signs everywhere.
indeed by no means are all ministry confused just don't have gates with a code to punch in to enter the parking lot which I've seen also.

That may be an extreme example............but, given what just occurred in South Carolina...........I'm thinking security at the door may be advised, and acceptable. This isn't the first instance of violence being perpetrated against a church congregation.

 

[phil112]

Matt.23 and call no man on earth father:Greek: pater: honorific title. Be not called Master or Rabbi: teacher.
Whosoever exalts himself shall be humbled.
Does this mean when one puts an honorific title in front of their name, they are exalting themselves above others.
'He that is greatest among you shall be your servant' is sandwiched in between these verses. I are a dummy but it seems pretty clear to this country boy.

What say You?

This passage is what makes me turn my back on people that call themselves reverend. The root word of reverend is revere and this clearly says we are to revere no man.
