I don't believe this is good Biblical thinking. My thinking is, there no earthly father good enough to compare to our heavenly father. So the very best earthly father would be a disappointment and not allow us to love our heavenly father beyond the point of disappointment, since at best our earthly father is a disappointment compared to God. It may be more probable that the poorer our earthly father is the more we may love our Heavenly Father. As I have said, I have heard this before and I think it is a bad argument and should not be used, after all who can compare to our Heavenly father. I believe as Scripture claims the Holy Spirit cries out from our hearts Abba, Father: Gal. 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” Well, I have heard this before “loving God calling Him father in love (the degree of love that is) may depend on the kind of earthly father a person has.” I don’t believe this is good Biblical thinking.
