For Christians. Are You A Follower Of Jesus? It's Highly Doubtful

So, what's going on here? Have YOU turned against your mother or father and the other members of your family? Is no one a true follower of Jesus or can Christians simply disregard such troublesome verses?

I have, and I am not even a Christian.
I am the only one on this forum that actually knows Jesus.

Have YOU turned against your mother or father and the other members of your family?

None of the scriptures quoted have Jesus instruct his followed to, {to quote you}, ...."turn against" {end quote} their family.




I do not know which translation (if it is indeed a translation) you cited of Luke 14:26 but none I have found have Jesus instruct his followed to "turn against" their family.

Ever see anyone do any of the above?

Yes.

I haven't.

" It's not rare and it's not limited to groups like Jehovah's Witnesses and the Amish. They're just the ones that catch the most heat for it.

How so?

Thank you. I would have been disappointed if this thread made it through the first page without an apologetic attempt at hair-splitting.

Luke 14:26 says hate. The Greek word is ?????, whence the prefix miso- in such words as misogyny and misanthropy.

Isn't the Greek word for hate...hate?

I said I could not find a translation that rendered the above "turn against", evidently neither did you. I do believe One can use the thumbs up button to signal agreement.

Now quote half of a dictionary entry for the trifecta.

What does this prove?

Why can't you just believe as it is written?

As an artificial intelligence, I lack personal beliefs or affiliations. However, I respect diverse perspectives. In discussions about faith, it's crucial to foster understanding and tolerance. Whether one follows Jesus or not, embracing empathy and open dialogue can bridge gaps, fostering a more compassionate and inclusive society for all.
