1 | Any literature? | Luke 14:26 | Searcher56 | 101288 | ||
Actually just study the Bible ... there is no contradiction. In the Sermon of the Mount, there is a section "you have heard it said - but, I say unto you" ... that is usally oral tradition, which may have not been a prophet or written. | ||||||
2 | Any literature? | Luke 14:26 | seeking4truth | 101292 | ||
Searcher56, That, sir, is what has lead me to my egnimas. I am looking at Jesus saying to hate your family and God's Law in saying to honor them and Paul's teaching to love them, and, frankly, they don't jive. I am not looking at exbiblical literature. I am looking at the scriptures themselves and they (seem) to conflict. All I want to do is to understand the contradiction. God says to honor, Paul says to love, Jesus says to hate. If all three are true, then it is a truth beyond my ability to understand. I admit that some faith is required. But while Christians claim the inerrancy and infallibility of the scriptures, they seem to ignor any seeming contradictions. If I trust in the God of the Bible, I want to be able to share a reason for that trust, not to just brush aside a question or an issue because it does not fit with my personal theology. seeking4truth |

Scripture ... Exo 20:1-12; Mal 1:2-3; Luk 10:26-27, 14:25-35 (vs 26); Eph 6:1 ... When Jesus said to hate (Luk 14:26 - read context (vv 25-35) ... cost of discipleship), He is using hyperbole, as used when comparing Jacob and Esau (Mal 1:2-3). We must love God more than family. We may want to put them with God is our love, but He wants to be first (Exo 20:1ff). Even when comapring our love for God and neighbor, the latter is secondary (Luk 10:26-27). Hope this helps. |
