A son calling someone father in the proud way Jesus did is respecting a worthy father, but if we look at Yahweh, I do not see how anyone could be proud of such a father.
Well GIA... only the people who believe the nonsense in the holey-Bible are able to accept said nonsinse as truth... so... when you become a belieber you will be able to understand the Bible the way God wants you to.!!!

Yahweh is definitely portrayed as being quite vile thanks to his use of genocide, infanticide and punishing the innocent instead of the guilty quite often. Yahweh is also shown to covet Joseph’s wife, cuckold Joseph, produce a son and then take off for parts unknown leaving his responsibility for his son to others thus showing himself to be a deadbeat dad.
Yes... one woud have to be blind in one eye an unable to see out of the other wit a hollow space between the ears to not realize that.!!!
Scripture say that we are all sons of God. To be relevant to his children, a father has to be around to interact with them.
Its amazin the number of people who make excuses for the bible-God whos in a perpetual disappearin act.!!!
It seems that God does not want to be relevant to us as he remains absent and places us, his children, at the mercy of people who have written scripture more to enrich themselves than to give us the messages from God that they claim to know. Even though scriptures say that God id unknowable and unfathomable and his desires cannot be known.
My analysis of the bible and God does not show God to be a good father.
Just scare 'em wit a bit of hell-fire an brimstone an its perty easy to get the superstitious to accept God as a good dad.!!!
Do you, as a child of God, see God as a good father or as more of a deadbeat dad?
Lots of people have real life dead beat dads an they prolly more susceptible to reachin out to silly promises in a old book... sad...
