So let's try this again. And I can get the training wheels for you if need be. Scripture says:
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20
So does God intend for you to hate or love your brother or sister? You want to imply that He's saying to actually hate them? But Scripture points to you not hating them.
So either Jesus isn't talking about actual hate which the integrity of the whole of Scripture confirms, or you don't know what you're talking about.
I'm going with the latter.Thumbsup
Our love for Him has to be so great that we do not even place our love for our families before our love for Him.

As usual around here, party affiliation first, scripture second.

I'm a firm believer that you first deal with what the words on the page say. And then you look at how the word is used in other Scripture. And then you make sure the interpretation which should be coming from the Holy Spirit does not conflict or create confusion about something else in Scripture. -
Alright, I'll play. Scripture: if any man hates his brother, the Spirit is not in him. Other scripture: (Luke 14:26). Now switch them. the only way to come up with something different is to preconceiv the verb in the sentence structures in one of them is nullified. To Catholics and c of c' s, the "other scripture" would have to be John 3:16 or Romans 10:9, only seen through their preconceptions; that is, nullified. -
