Each one of these three verses is a statement and a command.Cult style quoting. You know that Old Testament commandment refers to human parents.
Surrounding verses:
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Do not be called Rabbi (or Priest, etc.)... is a command.
Call no man your father upon the earth... is a command. (but dad is okay and so is mum)
Do not be called masters... is a command.
These are New Covenant commands and they therefore need to be applied to the reading of the Old Covenant in order to arrive at the "New Song" mentioned in Revelation.
It turns out to be quite straightforward, even though it may not appear to be at first, unless you need to change the meaning (like the christian churches have to do) in order make it seem like Jesus did not really mean what He was saying (about not being called those things) and that instead of them being New Covenant Commands, Jesus was actually just making some casual conversational remarks not to be taken too seriously.
The christian church was called the ultimate cult (by Mr. Normal) and for good reason! See below:

SANTA SATAN
by Mr. Normal
(Xmas Eve, 2000)
Is it plausible that Santa is really Satan?"
Think about it, folks! It's not just that "Santa" is an obvious anagram of Satan; that Santa wears a demonic red suit symbolic of the fires of Hell; and that his huge hat must conceal horns. The clincher is that Santa represents xmas, that time of year when christian greed and phony sincerity reach their unctuous peak. It's the season when braindead followers of THE ULTIMATE CULT are whipped into frenzies that leave them figuratively drained -- broke and exhausted.
Understandably, it's also the time of the year when depression and suicides max out as the futility of achieving happiness sinks in at least subliminally. A December, 2000 Gallup poll shows that 85% of us think that xmas is too commercial, but Santa/Satan wouldn't have it any other way! Our most respected institutions are in on the plot too. Even the law of the land (U.S.A.) forbids a baby Jesus in the town square, but who's there instead? You
guessed it! Santa! - Satan.
Lucifer/Satan once was one of God's angels. Satan's attempted heavenly coup failed (Isa. 14:12-15), but he was given his very own place to rule and called it Hell/Earth (Rev. 12:9) Satan also got free reign to tempt as many people as he wanted (even Christ himself!) and lots of fabulous stuff to tempt them with (like eternal youth and Mercedes Benzes). However, Satan still was not satisfied. He worked hard to make xmas the most important retail event of the year. A recent survey showed that 60% of holiday spending occurs at xmas, and another 20% at Satan's recognized holiday of Halloween. Think about it, folks! Satan has locked up 80% of our holiday dollars! Who else could be the "red dragon" of Revelation 12:3, ?. More important is that asking Santa for something really is an unwitting pact with the Devil, and parents are dooming their children's souls to Hell-Fire! (Coming to your neighbourhood; soon - JAH.)
"Santa Satan's" devilish temptations have achieved what John Lennon could only try to claim for the Beatles -- greater popularity than Jesus! Indeed, "Santa Satan" truly is the reason for the season!

Jesus is commanding people, not to not be called Rabbi (or Priest, etc.), to call no man your father upon the earth, and to not be called masters. For one is your Master, even Christ. These are New Covenant Commands that are being given by Jesus.Jesus is referring to giving other men excess honour. https://www.gotquestions.org/father-Matthew-23-9.html
Now you are just being a flat out liar, and are falsely accusing me, of doing what it is that you are in fact doing (unless you have mistakenly done this, through an obvious error and due to being duped by false "christian" teaching - 1 Timothy 2:14). Please stop this, JoChris.It is so sad that you have misquoted so badly here just like the Muslims here.
2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Jesus did not use the word "excess" in those statements, as you have now attempted to assert - a faulty notion christians have tried to invent themselves (? - themselves? or were they listening to Santa, Satan).
No. He (Jesus) just said don't. - Do not, Call not, Do not.
Why are so many "christians", liars? (see above - Santa - SATAN)
Thank you. Me too. I now consider it a great shame, indeed and have confessed and since repented of my sins, of having wasted much valuable time and resources, in The Sight of The Lord, in having previously obtained completely useless worldly degrees, that are wastes of pieces of paper (useless), from NWO controlled worldly institutions (Universities etc.) in the past, that are odious because they are in truth mostly just brainwashing and indoctrination centers used by the "elite" for conditioning people into becoming useful (to THEM), immoral, downtrodden and obedient cogs (slaves - to THEM) to work in and for their worthless, evil, Satanically inspired, Babylonian beast 666 (barcode) market beast-system ("The Beast" - system) that is destroying nature and all life on the earth, including humanity itself, and hurting the animals and plants, by turning it into a wasteful throw-away society, that is perpetually at war, for the purpose of their (the so-called "elites") personal gain and enrichment at the expense of everyone else. Contrary to what it says the situation should be, in Scripture.I have come to expect the lowest of low standards from them, but if you truly have a Masters degree you should be ashamed of yourself.

The only upside, that I can see now, is that it was God's Grace, in allowing this because although much of it was wasted effort, I feel that the overall experience did teach me much, including many useful things and lessons about learning to think independently from the "system" and turn to trusting in The Lord instead, because of seeing the futility of putting any hope in the insane, "elite" controlled man-made institutions of so-called "higher learning" to succeed, that all teach Satan's evil ways and the worshiping of mammon, and no longer to hope in them to be of any real help towards solving the woes now facing mankind. But God is Merciful, and He is Kind, and He is Patient, and is fully able to turn even the worst situations into the most useful of lessons. I now see that what it taught me most, is about becoming acutely aware of the truth, and recognising the deep need of the soul (the Being) to trust in God and His Wisdom and Guidance, and not in the ways (and so called knowledge) of worldy-wise, deceitful, satanicaly "educated" men.
Silly pieces of paper, that really amount to nothing more, than just turning people into "qualified" slaves to the system, while at the same time, inflating and boosting their already HUGE egos (even further) and thereby conning them (Satan is the biggest con artist. Invented it. John 8:44) into telling themselves at night, after work (their slave job - see Job) that this utter travesty (of their life-long slavery) is somehow, something to actually rejoice over and be proud of.
When it really is not that, but something to rather lament, weep and cry about, as most people secretly feel that they want to do, anyway.
Have you?
Please read what you just wrote. You need to apply this to yourself.Please:
1. have some self-respect and prove you are able to use the bible properly.
Of course. As we all will. My objective, is the Truth.2. Remember you will have to face God on Judgement Day and account for what you are doing
Please see my statement to you, above the one that is above this one.through the abuse of God's Word.
Agreed. A friend is what I've been striving to be to you, too.Proverbs 27:5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

A question I have, is why do you keep trying to defend the indefensible? Christmas. Why? What's so great about it, anyways. I can tell you that my life has been way better without it. It's nice to just watch and see how the world carries on with the nonsense, and not having to be a part of it, because of now knowing something better.
This has been a very a lengthy and elaborate reply, and I'm willing to keep having this discussion with you, if you would like to continue having it. Unless you would prefer we take some respite from it, perhaps to allow time to look into and think on the topic for a while?
My goal is simply to side with the truth. Even if it just helps to get a few others to thinking on some of these issues, that would already be making it worthwhile. And I know, from personal experience, as we all do, that the truth is not always easy to hear and usually, it hurts. The truth hurts.. but only at first!
Hope you have good day.
God Bless, bible student.
