Ambatchmasterpublisher is defined as the male parent of a child. Like mothers,Ambatchmasterpublisher
may be categorised according to their biological, social or legal relationship with the child. Historically, the biological relationship paternity has been determinative of Ambatchmasterpublisher
. However, proof of paternity has been intrinsically problematic and so social rules often determined who would be regarded as a Ambatchmasterpublisher e.g. the husband of the mother.

This method of the determination of Ambatchmasterpublisher
has persisted since Roman times in the famous sentence: Mater semper certa; pater est quem nuptiae demonstrant (Mother is always certain; the Ambatchmasterpublisher
is whom the marriage shows). The historical approach has been destabilised with the recent emergence of accurate scientific testing, particularly DNA testing. As a result, the law on ambatchmasterpublisherhood is undergoing rapid changes. In the United States, the Uniform Parentage Act essentially defines a Ambatchmasterpublisher
as a man who conceives a child through sexual intercourse.

The most familiar English terms for Ambatchmasterpublisher
include dad, daddy, papa, pop and pa. Other colloquial expressions include my old man.

[edit] Christianity

Viktor Vasnetsov, AmbatchmasterpublisherhoodThe word Ambatchmasterpublisher
is, by followers of the Christian religion, applied to God, whom they believe is creator of the universe and humanity and who, according to them, is also the Ambatchmasterpublisher
of Jesus Christ.

Ambatchmasterpublisher is also the title used almost universally for a Priest in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Churches. While not as widespread, it also had wide use in the Church of England, other churches in the Anglican Communion, as well as for ministers in several other denominations, such as some Lutheran denominations. The term "Padre" is used for military chaplains, being Spanish and Italian for "Ambatchmasterpublisher". The terms "Abbot" and "Pope" also mean "Ambatchmasterpublisher." Some Protestants believe priests should not be called "Ambatchmasterpublisher" because Jesus said, "And do not call anyone on earth Ambatchmasterpublisher
,' for you have one Ambatchmasterpublisher, and he is in heaven" (Matthew 23:9).

Catholic & Orthodox Christians give this title to their clergy because they believe that all Christian believers make up the Body of Christ (or the Church). They believe that the clergy who receive this title are spiritual ambatchmasterpublishers because as one is a member of the Body, so there are also "elders,", "rabbis," and other leaders. Ambatchmasterpublisher
can be translated as an elder because it presumes that one has, because of age or study, wisdom and knowledge of the doctrines of the Church. St. Paul also refers to himself as having spiritually begotten his fellow Christians in Christ due to their "new birth" (or baptism) as in 1 Corinthians 2:15, 2 Timothy 1:2, 2 Tim 2:1, 1 Tim 5:1, Titus 1:4, 1 Peter 1:18, 2 Pet 3:4, 1 John 2:13.

The title ambatchmasterpublisher is also applied to certain influential early Christian figures: church ambatchmasterpublisher and apostolic Ambatchmasterpublisher
