The New-Testament:

AS I am unable to access google docs I am left with no alternative but to remain in the dark as to your statement, I suggest you return to normal text so I can see what your saying or put something in comments. You receive no messages so I am unable to reach you ".. oh well. It is important to begin by saying that for one who has already made up his or her mind that Jesus is not the Messiah, no amount of evidence will be convincing. But for those who are honest in asking, the evidence speaks for itself. Some claim that Jesus taught his disciples to hate their mother and father Jesus' statements in question are: Matthew 10:34-36- Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn 'a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. Luke 14:26-If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. There are four things which show the real meaning of these statements: 1. These sayings of Jesus reflect a common Jewish understanding of the day. By these sayings, Jesus was announcing the messianic age and his own messiahship. In fact, quoting from Micah who spoke of the messianic age in these terms: Micah 7:5-6 Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with her who lies in your embrace be careful of your words. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies are the members of his own household. Micah speaks of judgment that was to come upon Judah because of her corruption and moral failure. This judgment, Micah previously said, would take the form of a siege by an outside enemy. In this context, relationships and familial bonds would be broken with distrust. This characterize the final "day of the Lord." Jesus is not encouraging hate. Rather, he is saying that social networks will be torn apart because of his words and actions--as the end results of the people's sin, not because his goal is dissension. 2. Jesus in fact reiterated the commandment to honor one's mother and father. Jesus affirmed the commandment to honor parents in word and action: Matthew 15:4-6- For God said, "Honor your father and mother," and "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death." But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have received form me is a gift devoted to God," he is not to "honor his father" with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition." Matthew 19:17-19 "If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." "Which ones?" the man inquired." Jesus replied, "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself." The word "hate" in the Bible is often used to express priority and preference rather than emotional hatred. For example, in Deuteronomy 21:15-17 the word refers to a preference rather than an emotional hatred. The same is true of Malachi 1:2-3. Deuteronomy 21:15-17 -If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love [literally, the hated wife], when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in preference to his actual firstborn, the son of the wife he does not love. He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father's strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him. Malachi 1:2-3 -"I have loved you," says the LORD. "But you ask, 'How have you loved us?' "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" the LORD says. "Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals."
