Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Matthew 23:9

Father-Mother is the name for Deity, which indicates His tender relationship to His spiritual creation. As the apostle expressed it in words which he quoted with approbation from a classic poet:“For we are also His offspring.”

S&H with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, page 332:4
