Didn't our Messiah say not to?

Mat 23:8 "But you are not to let yourselves be called 'Rabbi'; because you have one Rabbi, and you are all each other's brothers.
Mat 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth 'Father.' because you have one Father, and he is in heaven. SO...is YESHUA saying break the 5th commandment?

I believe that Yeshua was more likely emphasizing that He is the only ultimate spiritual Father that there is, and the rest are children of him: children can have sons in the faith too (Paul calls Timothy his son), but He is still the one truly founding this faith, and He is the one we build our faith on and call the ultimate Father and Teacher. We can still respect our parents and know that they are our earthly parents, and we can respect the elders who have been put into a teaching position as well (spiritual parents): but we can’t graft someone into Israel or be 100% right, He does and is that.
