How is the word "hate" to be understood in some Bible verses?

[Huiou_Theou]

Therefore, the one who “hates mother and father” is the one who “loves father or mother more than me.”

Hope that helps…!

I think you mean, the one who “doesn’t hate mother and father” is the one who “loves father or mother more than me.” ?



I’m loving your analysis and cross comparison. You’re making a very solid point, and one that needs to be pondered in the heart.
