"And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23:9-11) You have one Father as it says and he is in heaven. This does not mean you can't call your Dad, Dad or Daddy. Just simply try not to call him father. Only refer to father when you are talking about "our Father who art in heaven." Father is one who protects and cares for us, yes a Dad does that too but God is the Father of everyone. I hope that helps =)
