Bible Question: What does this mean? |
Bible Answer: realmenluvjesus, Let me add this to Suede's post. "Hate" is a Hebrew idiom that means "love less than." So think in terms of "Unless you love your father, mother, sister, brtother less than me...." See a similar concept in the amplified version translation on this forum site. Emmaus |
