AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God]--he cannot be My disciple. |
Subject: What does this mean? |
Bible Note: realmenluvjesus, Excuse me. I stand corrected. I incorrectedly supposed that you would understand I was referring to the Hebrew idiom that was translated into the English word hate. We can see in the parralell verse of Matthew 10:37 how the same idea is expressed differently and in line with the point I was trying to make. For a broader context see Genesis 29:31-33; Malachi 1:2-3. |
