Jesus Christ really loves all of us in this forum...

Slavoj Zizek mentioned a very weird bible quote in his newest text.

Luke 14:26 ESV
"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, he cannot be my disciple."

If we hate our lives, does this mean Jesus loves us? Okay enough blasphemy for today. I read this quote is often misunderstood. The original word for "hate" had a different meaning to that time. It should emphasize a huge difference in the love for God and the love for loved ones. The love for God must really be extreme compared to literally everything else.

"Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life" John 12:25

"Anyone who loves their father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of me" Matthew 10:37

it's meant to say anyone who loves their life enough to choose it or their family over Jesus cannot be his disciple because he demands total devotion. hate is used in the context of 'choosing,' apparently. wack ass jesus.

If pronounced today, Jesus would have been called a cult leader.
