Its a verse the church seems to hide from as it hardly ever if ever gets talked about, but i dont hide from anything Jesus said so lets discuss it.
Basicaly Jesus said to a mulitude if they dont hate there own family and themselves they cannot be his diciple, and we know that would contradict Jesus preaching about loving one another and his commandemnt to love thy neighbour as thyself and the law of God is love. And the word hate acturally means hate in the original there is no way around it as that is what he said.
So whats the context and reason for Jesus saying that?. Is it just not understanding the text properly?. Was it that he knew no one could follow him and understand what he was doing for the world so when he said that it was so they could see in there hearts the love they acturally have for themsleves and for there families and neighbour as love is the ultimate so they could all see it clearly yet cannt do what he was going to do for them so they could not follow him?.
Is he talking about just hating the sin in the person not the actural person themsleves and its just not clarified?.
I dont know thats why im asking.
How does one explain that verse?
