I won't be because I check on everything before I agree to believe it.
You should do it too.
Jesus says call no man 'Rabbi'.
Are you going to start obeying that?

Why are you lying to Jacob? Just because the Lord's meaning went over your head doesn't mean you should pass on your ignorance to him. Read the context, and if you still can't figure it out, ask for help. You need some.

She's trying to lead you astray right now. Read the text in context.
I'm thinking you may see what she cannot.

May the Lord rebuke you.
I see glorydaz's post after this one of yours that I am replying to.
However, check your source. See if it is in the Bible.

Jacob,
Don't believe her only believe Jesus:
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Don't believe her only believe Jesus:
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
she is either learning or learning along the way or somehow knows at each step, but from a perspective or disposition or something I do not know how to say it demeanor or something else that is wrong. she is challenging me and providing the wrong answers which either helps me or shows her to be in the wrong, especially if I don't answer though to answer would be to show or prove her wrong. I will post to her.
there was something about those being called Rabbi, their wanting such
rather than Jesus now who is my Rabbi
not that no one can call Jesus Rabbi

Jesus says we are brothers in Christ. Don't put another brother over another.
Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Are you my brother in Christ?

The apostle obeyed and so did the disciples.
No apostle is called 'Rabbi' and no disciples called any brother 'Rabbi'.
No apostle is called 'Rabbi' and no disciples called any brother 'Rabbi'.
Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples,saying: [JESUS]“The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat.Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments.They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren.Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.“Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold?And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift?Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it.He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it.And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’“Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt.Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.[/JESUS] - Matthew 23:1-36 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew23:1-36&version=NKJV

I don't answer questions about my gender.
I have told you that before.
The Bible uses the words 'brothers' and it goes for 'sisters' too.
incorrect

Give a scripture then where an apostle is called 'Rabbi'.
Show that scripture now or repent.
brethren refers to what?
You are either male or female
Is this what you say is gender, being either male or female?

Don't lose sight of the fact that Jesus says not to call anyone 'Rabbi'. He is the only 'Rabbi'.
Jesus gives understanding to those who obey.
Work on obeying and you will be given understanding.

Get back to the scriptures about calling no one 'Rabbi'.
