Bible Question: JESUS SAID IF YOU LOVE YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER MORE THAN ME, THEN YOU CANNOT BE MY DISCPILE IS THIS A CONTRADICTION TO THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD TO HONOR THY FATHER AND MOTHER? |
Bible Answer: Honor and love are two different things. When Jesus said honor what he means by that is show your parents respect that they deserve. Its like we honor the president because of his title we show him respect and honor but we don't love him. Our God is a jealous God and he has to be the most important thing in your life. I love my parents with all my heart but if I had a situation in which I had to chose between the two I would always chose God |
