Spiritual father on earth

Intro

Some christian traditions are big on that you should have a christian leader above you here on earth, like a priest. They believe in a christian hierarchy here on earth. For example the orthodox faith.[1]

There are other christian faiths that do not focus so much on having a christian pastor or leader above you here on earth.

For example Evangelical Christianity, Quakers, Amish, Charismatics, Pentecostals, Non-Denominational Christians, Anabaptists, Mennonites, Lutherans, Calvinists.

But I reject all the traditions of men in the name of my Lord the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mark 7:7-8 (KJV)
"Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do."

I am standing alone under heaven taking order directly from God himself.

1 Peter 2:9
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light."

There is only one mediator between God and men.

1 Timothy 2:5
"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

And I accept no spiritual father here on earth.

Matthew 23:9 (KJV)
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."
