Bible Question:
I work with a man that has tried to answer this for me and I don't like his answer. I asked him to explain this to me. Luke 12:51-53 (King James Version) 51Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 14:26 (King James Version) 26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. |
Bible Answer: 'The cost of Discipleship' Hi, I'm The CurtMan. Luke 12:51-53 is an example of my life. My mother had five kids, my baby sister was ALWAYS my partner in crime. To say that we got into trouble together would be an understatement. When I became a Christian, that drove a wedge between us. I could nolonger continue to do the things we were doing, and she couldn't stop. Luke 14:26 Isn't telling us to hate our relatives, but that our love for our Lord should out weigh our love for our relatives so much so that in camparison it appears to be hatred. I love my sister, I always will, but I love Jesus more; and because of that my sister and I nolonger see eye to eye on things. |
