1 | Did Jesus teach hate? | Luke 14:26 | seeking4truth | 101193 | ||
Hi, I understand that the NASB is the most accurate word-for-word translation in the English language, so maybe some of you can help me with this question. This verse says that Jesus taught that his followers should hate their father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters. Given that the 10 Commandments said that we are to honor our father and mother, why did Jesus violate the Law here? As I understand it, Jesus came to fulfill the Law. So why the contradiction? I have looked up this question in the archives and have not seen a satisfactory answer. It was mnetioned that "hate" may be used as a comparative value. But having a face-value approach to the Bible, I feel that if Jesus had meant "does not love Me more," then he would have said so. Can anyone help? seeking4truth |

Definitely, Jesus does not teach us to hate at all except sin. Luke 14:26 means when one accepts Jesus, they should forsake the ideas etc., of father, mother, sister brother, and even his own ideas contrary to what the Word of God says. Whatever God's Word says will stand. Matthew 24:34, | ||||||
